thanks sage ericka for your words of wisdom and encouragment.
It is very good to be reminded of patience, tolerance, balance, and just why I enjoy growing things.
Now back to step one; OBSERVE.
;)
Ha ha ha ha. I get what you're saying. We have a very manicured back yard. Not at all what it was when we bought the house. It started when I got frustrated when the water would run out from under the 3 large orange trees across the back whenever I…
I guess it depends on the size of your fruit trees. I planted dwarf trees and put scalloped edgers (scalloped side down, I hate the scallops) in a 4' sq. then put 6" x 12" pavers around the outside of those allowing my husband to mow right up to the…
We hand dug out all our bermuda, not a task I would want to do again, but it did the trick. Now, we have 3 hens, and wish we had some bermuda back in the yard for them to eat-Chickens love grass, and bermuda was introduced here in AZ to feed cattle…
A healthier attitude I guess. I thought that if I eliminated the grass stolons where the tree roots would take hold, I could eliminate one more source of the Bermuda invasion in the larger area. Thanks for the reminder
Janine, et. al
I have just bought a house with Bermuda, front and back, AND NO TREES! Why Lord?
Anyway, I'm anxious to start planting trees but concerned about the oucome if I don't 'kill' the grass first. Do I need to lose a year and wait until I…
i've got white capped mushrooms growing in tight clusters all over my garden bed, just wondering if they might create any problems? i was gonna just pull them out, but then i thought maybe they'd be adding something helpful to the soil or other plan…
Any tips out there on deterring bermuda grass growth around the base of fruit trees? Or am i doomed to a life of pulling it up by hand?

grape vine troubles
i put a 4' flame grape vine in the ground two months ago, and almost all of it's foliage is grey and dropping - anybody know if this is normal, or should i be concerned? i haven't protected it from any of those nights we had near freezing because i thought they were hardy to well below 32. any advice on bringing it back? also, i haven't really watered it too much because of the rain we've had over the last 8-9 weeks, maybe it needs more?

I missed the tree chippers coming through my area, and I have to get rid of this Christmas tree before my neighbors call the HOA 5-0s.Do you have a chipper, other means of recycling a tree, or a good idea for me?I can deliver it.Thanks,Markmarktrini…
Home & Yard Tour of the Bee Oasis with Don Titmus at Private home of Don Titmus
March 20, 2010 from 9am to 11am
Don has been "living" permaculture and sustainability for several years. His environment is a testament to the many ingenious ways he's incorporated sustainability into his life. See veggie and flower gardens, urban chickens, bees, water harvesting,…
Sorry about the mix up on the date...This will be held on the evening of April 7. I am still working on securing a space for the event.
thanks,

Thank you, Judy. That is a lot closer to my house. I'll probably head out this weekend to pick some up.
Here is a link to a search tool for Mastergardeners. It will not tell you if the fruit is edible, but it does say what type of wildlife it will attract. These plants also have the benefit of being desert adapted, so you are not spending a ton of mon…
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.
