Goji, goji berry, or wolfberry (Chinese: 枸杞; pinyin: gǒuqǐ) is ... [from wikipedia]

I can't read most of the article due to paywall, but I thought many dried fruits had sulfur something something in them to preserve color. I wonder if this is just an extreme version of that

So it's the coating, and that fruits labeled organic (at least in US?) don't use animal derived coatings. I think Whole Foods mentions what wax they use, but when I shop other places I guess I gotta lean organic just in case. Bummer

Always looking for new pancake recipes! We like a cinnamon oat one from a book I don't have on hand, and this corn one, what's in yours?

Interesting. I had heard that Germany was easier to be vegan than a lot of other European countries, bit it looks pretty in-line with its neighbors, and trailing Poland.

Do you get yours straight from the manufacturer? Last few I've gotten from Amazon had suffered quite a bit of crushing

I have not tried this, but this approach of raising the vine (youtube) was something I wanted to try next year

Looks so manicured now! Now that the weed barrier is down and you shouldnt need the mower there, you think you'll consider putting more beds in?

Well it's hard to say, the early birds got the saskatoons and I only got 2 (two!). They're blueberry like, maybe a bit less tart and a bit creamier(?). Definitely looking forward to meet years crop!

Ive never heard of rattlesnake beans, looks fun! I mostly have just been putting perennial fruits in the ground, I've got raspberries, blueberries, Saskatoons, and elderberries. I might start some annuals next year

I like the little mini fences, very cute! What kind of beans are you growing?

Wow thanks for the pictures that really helps, yours look amazing, hopefully mine get full like that. I've got purple royal(ty?) variety, I think. I guess I got in my head about it a bit and I shouldn't have, y'all have been crazy helpful.
