I have a mystery plant poking up under one of my grape vines (I have five of these-two fig trees, a lemon tree--basically, we're pushing the envelope of what can grow at the Philadelphia latitude, and letting anything edible that happens to grow, just grow). It has little white flowers that recently dropped off that kind of reminds me of blackberries--but I think this might actually not be anything so useful (I'm watching it everyday, though). I think global warming is helping our Mediterranean transplants (olives, laurel, bitter orange, etc) do well outside for about 8 mons out of the year. Also, we have bees in our yard, which used to scare me shitless, but now makes me feel really happy because--yay! Bees pollinating and not being dead because of Round-up and stuff.
