My two cents on your question Melody. Last Spring I transplanted a dormant five year old redcurrant bush. It did fine and bore lots of currants....
Thank you Logan. Sometimes I feel like saving seeds is almost a lost art. Around here, I don't know anyone else who starts many of their own...

Supposedly, you can eat kudzu leaves. I read it on the internet, so it must be true, right? I like snowpea shoots. Some people eat sweet potato...
My grandfather had a large sassafras tree in his yard. Sassafras tea is quite tasty. Unfortunately sassafras contains carcinogens and liver...
Much, much more modern, I really love Jon Batiste. Especially Freedom. It's so joyeous. [MEDIA] Also, I Need You has the same kind of joy....
