Yes! Getting a plant source of enough B12 going would be a really really worthy cause.

Better also do it with something drought-tolerant! (I have just planted strawberries, and the instruction leaflet reminds me that the fruit is 80-90% water).

FYI, it has effectively not rained here in Vorpommern (N Germany) for 2 months, perhaps more. Only humidity + cold nights giving us dew has kept any plant life going at all! Now nights are warmer... but fear not; I have 12 days holiday soon, so it's BOUND to rain then :-).
