When it comes to getting the most out of your garden and also kind of spicing up the

intrigue, getting into weird or interesting, unique perennials is a fantastic way to do so.

And actually Chris, I kind of came across your content a long time ago before we obviously

are now working together. And you had kind of been profiling some of these mashoa, sort

of these oddball, tuber-based crops. And you know, it peaked my interest because a lot

of the times I've grown for simply the uniqueness of the plant. And really I don't even care

if I like to eat it. I just think it's interesting to grow. And that is something, it sounds

like you and I have in common. So I'm really curious, some of the stuff you showed me at

your place, maybe we could share it with everyone listening and see if it gives them

any ideas on planting that out.

Yeah, so this is great because we just talked about how I'm going to improve the garden

by planting the trees and the shrubs, like the more permanent, larger things. So some

of the trees that I've purchased and I'm hopefully going to, I don't know, have the patience

to wait for them to develop into like full-size trees. Like I have paw paws, I've got like

two varieties. So paw paws are really cool. They're hearty down to, oh gosh, I don't remember

how cold, but they can handle cold temperatures. So for anyone who is looking for a fruiting

tree that produces in cold temperatures, paw paws are really cool for another mangane

growers. Persimmons do really well too. And although they're not like super odd, like

they are quite common, they, I find people just don't really grow persimmons, especially

not up here in Canada. They're actually quite beautiful trees and there are lots to choose

from and they can handle the cold. So I've got two young persimmons trees, I still have to

find room for them, but I'm really excited for those. And also I went kind of crazy last
