The garden - current highlights

Kiwi:

The kiwi fruit are the little ovoid things in the middle. They're supposed to be completly edible (i.e., no fuzzy outsides), though we didn't get enough fruit last year to test. This year looks better.

Cannas:

We have more of these freakin' things than we know what to do with. We got one box from Jeff's dad last spring and pulled up three boxes worth at the end of the summer. I know for a fact that I planted some of these upside down, but they still came up. We have another raised bed the same size full of them, plus they're planted along the front of the house and in one of the front beds. They thrive on neglect.

Note the scareflamingo to keep the dogs out of the bed.

Dinosaur food:

That would be the non-scientific name, of course. It's really a giant gunnera. Right now, that's only about eight inches tall, but it should get to at least five feet. It's Jeff's baby.
