I'm an American foodie moving to Dublin in the fall, and I must admit, I just had to google goosegog (lots of fun with alliteration right there). Now I need to try one. Nice Kubrick quote too conor.

We have one plant which thrives but only got one fabbo tart out of it. Loved stewed rhubarb too. David, I think I was late and planted in April. Possibly didn't replenish soil well enough last year. Will add tons of rotted compost this winter. Anyone know if lemongrass is annual or perennial? Grew a plant last year and got plenty of shoots. Looking pretty dead right now.

We have quite a bit at home, it's been planted sucessfully in Dublin and the West Midlands, UK. Totally organic. Let me know in Autumn and i'll get the Dad to prepare some for you.

It's possible that the beasts got them; but I think it's more likely that the seeds never germinated in the first place.

Luckily big sis arrived yesterday with a bunch of new tomato plants for me that she grew! Two days later only the squash and tomatoes survive and it looks like the tomatoes took a trip to Antarctica.

You must have water for ducks tho, unless they are muscovy ducks, which don't need swimming water, but are dead ugly! I identify with them! I start all my veg in cell trays, then pop them in the ground, it seems to beat the slug onslaught. I want a peach tree too.
