New Perennial additions to the Garden This Year.

Perennials are the best. With a little care and TLC you can have perennial fruits and vegetables come back year after year. They are especially great in the early spring when rhubarb, asparagus and strawberries are ready to harvest before your early planted peas. Some new additions to our garden this year include:

One new rhubarb plant to add to our existing plant. 

One new highbush blueberry to add to our other two plants. 

Fifty, yes fifty, new strawberry plants to add to our existing forty five plants. 

Thirty some odd alpine strawberry plants for a new alpine strawberry bed. 

Twenty some odd all male asparagus plants grown from seed to add to our six existing crowns we can fully harvest this year and twelve asparagus plants grown from seed last year. 

and

One black currant bush. 


Some of last years strawberries. It's common to pick this amount in a day. 


Bog cranberry bush. 


More strawberries. 



Asparagus spear.
