Ate a handful in the garden and they were delicious, so I picked a branch that seemed to have some well-developed pods for our salad. The mature ones are tough and bitter...but I think I'll "island" an area and establish it there to reseed indefinitely... Thanks Hilary – I tried the seed pods.

A friend let me dig up a cubic foot of his dormant hops roots this winter and it's now a thickening 15' row as tall as me We're preparing a 16'x16' grain test bed for the fall, maybe we should try barley =) Deer are lucky they're so cute. I look at the stubby remains of several dozen raspberry bushes and want to hang a sign in deer-ese that reads "The gardener would find <em>you</em> just as tasty as you find his plants." Yes, hops!

Our neighbor has 2 great plants that a friend collects the hops from in the fall for home brew. We have some great iris blooming right now, it's the only things the deer won't touch! Great pictures!

That Sweet William is in a wildflower area that I never cut or cultivate, I hope it seeds itself. Thanks for all the tips!

The kale will seed itself everywhere! It can be a weed, an awesome, delicious weed but... The seed pods are pretty yummy to munch on when they are small too. Our neighbor has several kale plants that went to seed this year and every day Anaya and I walk by and pick a bunch of fresh seed pods. Another YUM! P.S. The kale will seed itself everywhere!

YUM! We also have a planter full of wild strawberries that is just going gangbusters! Thanks for sharing all the beauty, it sounds like the homestead is really coming along.
