OMG, we were separated at birth, I think.
EVERYONE thinks I am out of my mind trying to rescue plants that most 
folks would toss.  I have the same mental illness.obsessive plant 
collectors/resuscitators..OPC..

I'm really trying to fathom why someone would force asparagus and 
strawberries and such.  I suppose the more northerly clime plays a part 
somehow.  I just eat my fill of asparagus in season.  I could can it, I 
suppose, but I don't.
I've got strawberry runners everywhere.  I'm going to go clip some for 
propagation elsewhere, I think.  I won't force them, tho. If I clip off 
the runners and plant the new crowns in a large flat, how close do you 
think I could plant them(for transplant to permanent site later).  I 
think I will try them every 4 inches or so for the time being.

I just finished a batch of blueberry jam- 11 half pints -and I have the 
worst headache.  I think I will take a nap before I go out to weedeat.
