Hi Jim,

I don't think it's going to be a fluke. I have such a nice new perennial
bed from this........you should see my flowers! Whatever veggies you
have had reseed in your Upstate NY garden will be good candidates. I
lived in Fleischmanns for thirteen years and we regularly had some
tomatoes return as seedlings, these usually set fruit about a day before
first frost (aarrghh, zone five in the Catskills, glad I am back
gardening again on Lawn Guyland). They were always at least several
hours ahead of the transplants I bought at the Agway Feed Store, LOL!

Honestly Jim, I think you should give it a try with perennial herbs and
some greens like lettuce and mustard, a mesclun blend would just about
fit the bill. I KNOW the mustards should do well as they certainly seem
to grow wild everywhere you look. There's lots of wild leeks upstate and
so I think you could also try regular leeks, chives, and maybe some
scallions too.

Maybe try a few grape seeds too, what the heck.....it's NY and we got
great dirt to grow wine grapes.

Trudi
