Thanks! Interesting... I think this is a common situation elsewhere, too. I'm interested in anything that grows in our zone 8 climate, that can handle the spring & fall rains & general dampness we experience in the Pacific Northwest. Especially greens - Every year it seems there is a "new" "Asian green" that shows up in seed catalogs here, but there are probably a ton we've never heard about here. And anything that might be considered a multi-function "permaculture plant."
