I try. I don't get as much done as I used to, with two kids under 5 yrs, but I do try. It helps that a lot of it's been established for 10 years or more.
The ironweed here only gets about 4' tall; there's a bunch of that in my back field. And I just bought a thread-leaf one, same flowers, but with fine, fine foliage. Can't remember the botanical name, and I'm miles from home at the moment.
We grow the same maypop here in Kansas, but it's fussier, we're at the outside edge of it's hardiness. I got a piece last fall from a friend, and I've been babying the poor thing. It's a whole 2' long now. Probably won't fruit this year, maybe next.
You've got a tempting lot of fruit. What kinds of quince are you planting? I'm contemplating fruiting quince trees as a border for a new garden area I want to do.
