Great day at Purple Pear Farm Kates blog tells more

We have two small Osage Orange Andrew but they have yet to fruit. Slow growing they are.

If you can get a hold of the great little book by Ester Deans, a beautiful Aussie lady who coined the "No dig garden"method, she talks alot about dosing pumpkin and other seeds for dominant gender....

I could have used some in the wwoofers room some time ago.

I wonder if the very literal reading of the little video may lead you to disapointment. The addition of organic matter and sub surface irrigation made conditions right for the fungi. Geoff made the...
