Unfortunately we don't have any space for berries .... I would really like to have at least an acre of berries!

Prickly Pears grow all over town. I'm hoping that I can get some starts and plant them around our yard ... I have one rose plant. Hope to get more ...

I'm adding Plantain, Thistles, Yerba Santa and Sage to my list. Haven't been able to find anyone with Danelion seeds yet ...
