And where they were all harvested from:

This evening while I was putting this map together, I realized again how no matter how many questions I ask and how much of my leisure time I spend exploring the farm, I miss alot.
Case in point: I had to ask Ann where the radishes and lettuces were harvested from, because they are grown in many patches, and since I did not harvest them that week I simply didn't know where on the farm they were from. Also with the parsley - I've never harvested it myself, so didn't even know where on the farm it was!
I expressed this feeling, "oh man I'm missing out on so much!" to Ann, and our conversation segued into other things I don't know: just today I learnt we have a patch of blueberries, and well as a few goji-berry trees on the farm. Also I knew we had some service/saskatoon-berries somewhere, but didn't know we had some larger shrubs which are quite productive already.
At least I don't have to be scared of running out of things to learn while here.
