Yes, I'll send you some Jerusalem artichoke tubers.
The ...blood peach... looks interesting.. But then most any peach product is my favorite.. Only problem for me is it appears to be growing zone 6 or better..
Galvanized raised beds.... I like the idea, but have been told by people who have used galvanized stock water tanks with rusted out bottoms they work good only they dry out quickly and require water often.. Never personally used a water tank that way, but have used old white cast iron bath tubs, homemade wood raised beds, and they seem kind of the same water sensitive.....

Indian peaches grow wild here in the south. They are usually on the small side because they aren’t cultivated. Also, they are a ‘white peach’ and free stone. I have one growing near my shop. They’ve grown wild around the shop and barn since I was a kid. They look just like your photo, white with heavy red near the skin.

In my area the prepping world went crazy for Jerusalem artichokes about 20yrs ago. Every one I know who grew and ate them got a case of exploding diarrhea. A commonly overlooked problem with chokes. I never saw any real benefit to growing them that was worth the down side. Unless you were hungry and constipated.
I see them growing wild from time to time. Found some last summer over by the river.

Time to start my pepper seeds, and maybe squash, too. I have time this afternoon to get things started, but I'll have to bring them in tonight. Still too cold in the greenhouse.
All my cabbages and collards survived being transplanted. And getting beaten by all the high winds and 3" of rain last monday. Supposed to rain again tomorrow so I hand dropped triple 13 around the cabbages/collards this morning, used a hoe to cover it.
Also, one step closer to getting the old ford tractor running. The first new radiator wouldn't fit. My cousin brought over another one this morning. It bolted right in without major issues. Replaced a couple front axle bolts while we were at it. Still haven't tried to start the engine, could kick myself! Thought I should hang the battery charger on the tractor a couple days ago but forgot about it. Soooo, it's charging now. I'll try to start it later today.
