camera

Well folks, it seems my camera decided to kick the bucket.  So today is just a text update.

Got rainbow corn growing, kale, peanuts, onion, potato, stevia, garlic, nasturtium, strawberries, and just planted a lot of hollyhock today.

Eating fresh bananas, loquats, and greens from the garden.

Had a few cold days so my Cuban oregano got "burnt" a good bit but it should bounce back in a few weeks. Cuban Oregano is a fairly cold sensitive plant. It doesn't even have to get to freezing for it to show damage.

This looks to be the first year that I'll get mulberries from 4 or 5 of my trees and the one older tree is loaded with green berries... more than I have ever seen on it before. I'm especially happy that my dwarf mulberry trees look like they will be producing for the first time this year.

I have a lot of banana tree's that are fruiting right now also so I should be set on bananas for a few months, by next year I should have enough banana tree's to produce all the banana's I eat so store banana's will be mostly a thing of the past for me.

This may also be the first year for one of my mango tree's to produce.

In other news, spring is nearly here! This looks to be a great year for gardening. I plan to teach a few garden classes this spring.

"The garden tour" A informational tour of the garden that will leave you with general knowledge of a lot of hardy plants as well as a LOT of plant starts.

Cost - $25
Time - About 2 hours.
You get - Knowledge and plant starts that will make the price well worth it.
Skill level - "I don't have a green thumb" to advanced gardeners.

Plant perspectives -
This class is for everyone. You likely will never view gardening or plants quite the same way again after taking this class. Practical hands on training.  This class presents many alternative uses of plants from a "first human" approach to understanding plants.

Cost - $50
Time - 4 to 5 hours
You get - Knowledge and skills, plant crafts, and starts.
Skill level - "I don't have a green thumb" to advanced.
This is a hands on class so wear something you don't mind getting dirty... just in case.

Just leave a comment if you would like more information about class times and to find out how to sign up.

                       Use those around you as mirrors to see where you need to grow.
