:lol: Yes, I know about strawberries. I guess I forgot to list them because I was only thinking of fruits that are typically grown from seed.

Can you recommend any annual fruits that I can grow in my garden in one year? I know about melons, ground cherries, and huckleberries. Any new ideas?

I would be concerned that there might be noxious weed seeds in the manure that didn't get killed off. You could have a serious weed problem if there is.

What is your preffered method of propogation? Start inside or direct sow? Are there any plants that need to be started inside?

Has anyone ordered seeds from them? How was the quality? Shipping time?

I've eaten these. The Whole Foods store here has them dried. They didn't taste great, kind of like cranberries, tart and kind of bitter, but not bad with a little sugar. I had them mainly in oatmeal, and a little sugr takes the edge off of them. If they weren't as healthy as they are supposed...
