- About Me:
- I am a good calm guy and consider myself good natured.Baking and vegetable gardening is what i like to do.I dont like complicated situations and look for easy solutions to problems when i can. I have a big interest in fruit trees and the process of growing and harvesting the fruit,for me its rewarding and fulfilling.My advice on buying fruit trees is that you should start with a tree in a 15 galllon pot or 24 inch pot because the trees are older and will give you fruit sooner but go for whats best for you.

Debra said… - Thanks for the info on the grapes. The farm is in Iowa, I was planning on heading that way in a few months. But, my mom is having the house torn down and is putting up a big shop for the farmers who lease the land. It's such a shame, by the time I have anything to say about things, our world will be in such bad shape.

Thank you, Judy. That is a lot closer to my house. I'll probably head out this weekend to pick some up.

Actually there is a local company that sells them for 18.98. They are 25' with a 9" diameter. I am thinking of getting them for my school garden project. It is going to take a couple of years to turn our dirt into soil and this allows the instant gr…
Erin, we subscribed to Desert Roots CSA a couple of years ago, don't think they offered meat then but I'll check it out, thanks.
Ken Singh donates huge piles of compost for the Mesa Community College Rose Garden every spring and they sell it in approx. 40lb bags for $4 and will be doing so for the next couple of Saturdays until all the pruning and mulching is done. Handy for…
Ready made raised beds, looks pretty cool but pricey. Don't know if there is a local source for them and how much just the wattles cost. They're recycling rice straw from Ca. for them now instead of burning the straw after harvest which is a good th…
