Off topic, kinda: I once saw a photo of a huge mound of peanuts drying under a tree when I was young, and so was convinced they grew on trees.
Not to disappoint: the ribeye bush is hooved, but comes with its own fertilizer. I’m thinking you don’t have room for it this year.
I can get you a few egg “bushes” though — how bout a hen pen!!!??? Free fertilizer from them, too and they are natural pesticides — they eat bugs better than the skeeter eater dragonflies! Just think of all those fresh eggs!
I can pull directions for a hen house off the web in no time for you.

Ohhh… That’s a great idea… Could I plant a rib tree? I can eat me a mess of pork ribs.

Jan: Find me a rib tree. Or is it a bush?

When I bought my first house and thus had my first landscape to care for, I took a course at the Mounts center…. and promptly abandoned it all after being baked/steamed in our July heat and humidity.
Somehow that heat doesn’t keep me from bicycling in the summer though. I guess it’s all in what you consider fun.
I just don’t like veggies enough to want to put up with gardening. But show me a hickory smoked ham tree or a ribeye steak bush, and I’ll be right out there with you in the garden.

Based on what I’ve heard about Dani’s cooking skills, this MIGHT be the first time she’s seen water boil.

“My garden’s kung-fu is strong. It will not be repressed.”

Best line I’ve heard all day.
