I have some potted baby trees that are doing quite well through the summer. I got my seeds for both the Indian and African Moringa varieties from a grower in FL, figuring the heat there is closest to heat here, sans humidity. I'm on a flood irrigate…
We got lots of citrus - grapefruit and oranges each year. Happy to pitch in to the group! As you know I'm near 7th st and Glendale Ave in the old citrus groves.

Easiest Solar Oven Design!

Healthier Eggs - Study Finds Pasture Eggs more Nutritious!
I'm sure many of you know that the eggs from your backyard flock are much healthier than the conventional factory-farm egg, but now we have some indication of how much better!
Testing done by Mother Earth News in 2007 concluded that most of the eggs currently sold in supermarkets are nutritionally inferior to eggs produced by hens raised on pasture.
Compared to official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs, eggs from hens raised on pasture (that would include… Continue

Dianne Cons said… - Loved all your photos! You have made such efficient use of all the space in your yard. I have a tiny back yard, with some shade issues, but am slowing increasing my use of what I have. I look forward to following your blog. You have already given me some ideas . . I love the PPG, I am so glad I found you all!

Brett Major said… - Hi Liz,
I have been out of town for the entire summer for work, so I haven't been able to make it to any of the classes. I am planning on signing up for some classes this fall and I am going to move a large portion of my garden to the front yard (my dog was a little too interested in the one I planted in the back yard). I have a lot to learn still, but the resources on this site are incredible...I have learned so much just by reading about other peoples' successes/failures/lessons. Many thanks again for introducing me to this group!
(My company, Ernst & Young, sponsors a charity/club on a quarterly basis. This quarter, it is the Permaculture Guild...I'm looking forward to taking part in that!)

- My dad watered when we were in MT and most stuff wasn't looking to good when we returned. Most of the zucchini have given up. The tomatoes are still looking good, but not as tasty. The herbs and cucumbers are doing well and the citrus are looking pretty sharp.
How about your garden? We need to get together!!
