Wife is needing some chicken soup. Out to the garden we go for produce. We harvest: ‘Utah Tall’ celery, Red Core Chantenay’ carrot, ‘Moss Curled’ parsley.

Today we will look at some of the succulents that we have amassed over the years. I will talk about a little about what it is that draws some of us into growing succulents.

The rain is something that I enjoy very much. When it pours, I like to go out there and feel the rain. Immediately after the rain is also another a special time. This video captures yet another special time; the period when the sun pokes through the clouds.

This video ran longer than originally intended. There is so much more to share; I sincerely hope that you enjoy this video. Along with vegetables we will look at some fruit trees like, Yuzu citrus, ‘Moro’ and ‘Sanguinelli’ blood orange, ‘Bearss’ lime, and ‘Reed’ avocado.

Additionally, we’ll look at our newest growing area.

Today, we see what is growing in the raised planters and harvest a couple of Ping Tung Long heirloom eggplants in the process. At the end of the video, we look at what seeds were received in our largest seed order to date.

I have been working off camera to knock off some of the work mentioned in the previous video. In addition, the cold and wet season has finally arrived. We saw a good amount of rain with forecasts for weekly rains.

A home and garden episode briefly covering the prospect of using landscape to help with heating and cooling of the home. Landscape can be utilized differently depending on season and location to have either a cooling or warming affect on the temperatures inside the house. Or man made structures can be built to be used in conjunction.
