I gotta give it to mulberries, don’t get enough attention!

The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

    I do my part to spread the good word about pawpaw’s here in PA. We’re somewhat towards the northern edge of where they grow, but they’re around if you know where to look, and if you have a good hippie grocery store near you they sometimes get them in (for about a week, their season is very short) this is about the time of year for them around here, maybe even a bit too late, because of work and weather I didn’t get a chance to go searching for the this year.

    If/when I have some property I’m hoping to grow some trees, in the meantime I’m just kind of scattering seeds into the treeline behind my house whenever I get my hands on some. HOA can’t really say anything about it, they’re a native plant so they could conceivably just pop up there on their own. If I’m incredibly lucky maybe some trees will pop up and start bearing fruit in a decade or so whether or not I’m still in this house when it happens.
