<snip> All the stuff those guys do is way more interesting that what
I could ever do.....dewberries? figs? persimmons? sheesh <snip>

It's interesting but also a lot of work--not that I am complaining--I
would call it a mixed blessing...

I've decided that it must be in my DNA to not let anything go to
waste.

And of course, staying busy keeps me out of trouble.

I agree! I have the same outlook - nothing goes to waste. But I'm bored
with strawberry this and strawberry that...later it will be peach this and
peach that...people in 'higher gardening zones' get to do way more
interesting stuff, and for a longer growing season. My brother just bought
a house in Murrieta (sp?) California. He has several different citrus
trees, as rosemary BUSH...stuff grows differently there and I just wish I
could get my hands on it all....
