Spent most of today doing garden-improvements. First, we bought 3 more varieties of tomato, making it a total of 8. I'll try to find description for each of them and post them on the web.
Second, we bought a "combo" pear tree from HomeDepot for $30. It is a pear tree with 5 different kinds of pear branches grafted onto 1 tree, so it will fruit 5 different kinds of pears. Too bad it may take several years for it to grow any pear, and we may not be in Kingston when it happens. Oh, and we already have argument about where we should plant the pear tree. I want it to be beside the vegetable bed (and behind the shed), and she wants it to be in the middle of the yard. Go figure.
Lastly, we bought more herbs: garlic chives (韭菜) and Chinese parsley (香菜).
I'll be spending tomorrow building a bamboo pergola for the opo gourd to grow on. Pictures will be uploaded when it is done.
