around the "edge" are my "wild strawberry" vines, which usually produce fruit, but the squirrel and chipmunks eat em!!!..so I never get to see "real" berries...also the Peonies are very old..I started with one small plant (stolen/borrowed) from my brother's house (around 20 years ago) now I have 5 gorgeous adults!!!
