I filmed this video a few weeks ago when the pine pollen was falling in the food forest.  Powerful stuff!  I love it!!  I love holy basil even more…it’s my favorite plant to graze on.  Come check out the garden and I’ll show you my method for planting holy basil..and some other ideas for growing healthy plants.

Happy Growing!!  Cheers to our Spring gardens..and food forest JOY!!

This garden really inspires me…and offers a TON of information…to digest!!

Emilia Hazelip developed her own permaculture gardening “style”  based on the work of Masanobu Fukuoka, and called it: synergistic gardening… it’s very… beautiful!!

I LOVE..watching these videos…for a GOOD TIME!!

One thing…I’ve applied from these videos, that’s really helped in plant/soil health…has been the use of straw mulch…or any good mulch…then, chopping and…. leaving in place, “green” plant material… to decompose.  MULCH, MULCH, MULCH!  It’s actually kind of fun…to help the cycle a long!!!

On my way to get more straw today…and scoop some fresh spring water… while I’m at it!  Herb hunting season is here too…have a few in mind… I’m stalking this year!!!

Have FUN…creating your own garden/food forest!
