Greetings from west Michigan. It’s been a gorgeous spring. Birds are everywhere. I planted my big lettuce-starting planter at Easter. Sprouting but slow. I keep it covered with a big plexiglas sheet. Picking up bone meal today and will till the garden a second time. Rain for 2 days coming up. Then we’ll put the compost pile on and till a third time in mid May before we plant. My San Marzanos are coming up nicely in the house. Biggest thing - all my 4 pawpaw trees made it through the winter, first time they did not get burlap treatment. They are as tall as me and I am hoping this is the year for fruit finally. Have a great gardening weekend everyone!
I was never able to get hubby to plant a paw paw tree. He just always says, that’s a big tree, and it would take too long to get fruit.
I’ve never had one, so I don’t even know if I would like the taste, but since it’s native, I figured it would do well. I did read somewhere that the trees stink like old socks.
If you get fruit, you can let us know first hand about the smell and taste - OK?
