At The Farm

These are just some more pictures of the yard in Wisc.
This first one is of the wild daisy"s that grow in our yard. I think if we let the yard go it would be solid daisy's all summer.





This one is again a picture of the bain berry that we have growing for us.












This is an experiment by Nana in the asparagus garden. She has harvested about 10 pounds of asparagus this year so now she is trying to grow white asparagus.
The plant keeps on growing but without sunlight the plant does not produce chlorophyll and thus turns out to be white asparagus. We wanted to see if it tastes any different.

Greetings from West Central BC

Just had to ask: Why do you grow Bainberry ? The bainberry that grows around her is poisonous. 6-8 berrys will paralyze the heart.

I choose to plant the Bainberry because of the accent it gives to the rescue garden.
But one must be careful in handling any plants from the wild until the toxicity of the plant is known.
In this case gloves are always worn when handling the plant and as far as I know I will not intentionally ingest the berries.
Thanks for your comment.
