I grew this bountiful #GroundCherry plant from seeds collected from last year's #VolunteerPlant. I dug a volunteer ground cherry plant out from a sidewalk crack, last year & transplanted into a pot. That plant provided loads of #fruits. I saved 2 of the largest fruits for sowing this year's plants - gave several seeds away too.

#Garden Visit: A #FrontYard #FoodForest in Alameda, #California 🌿 💚

Story by Laura Fenton, January 28, 2025

"We’ve often swooned for Bay Area landscape design/build firm Pine House #EdibleGardens‘ lush and productive landscapes, but this project caught our eye because it is particularly relatable: a postage stamp-sized yard in front of a classic #bungalow. The garden proves that even the smallest front yard can be a productive food forest and a feast for the eyes."

What does it take for a cucumber to become a pickle?
A jarring experience.

Gonna start cutting back the established Camellia (japonica? Sasanqua?) trees in our yard, to replace eventually with #quince, #avocado, and #CamelliaSinensis.

If anyone can recommend good places to order such trees from in #Aotearoa, please link them here. I'm Googling of course, but reviews from actual people instead of bots on websites are appreciated. #EdibleGardens #MāraKai

Finishing off preparations for my intro to gardening course at the Castlemaine Community House tomorrow. I can sneak in an extra person if you want in. It's a bargain course! 12 hours for $50. Women and non-binary only for this course.

My focus is on practical, accessible, edible gardening for people on a budget. Each course works specifically to the needs of the participants and we have a heap of fun learning and growing together.
