I dont really know when it all happened but a day came when I realized the importance of herbs and food, mainly of learning how to grow our own food. When I found out of Monsanto's master plan to control the worlds food production it freaked the hell out of me.
Our home, my mother's home that is, began to have a major transformation. In the early 2000's we cut down four huge and beautiful shade trees, I felt terrible about it. However, they did not produce much other then shade, that too is useful but in the great scheme of things not more so then food. In their place we planted five fruit trees, a cherry tree, an apple tree, a plum tree, a apricot tree and a peach tree. We have added so many more, a mango tree, a avocado tree, a lemon tree, two guava trees, a orange tree, a tangerine tree and a pomegranate.
I wish we had the land to do the same. Maybe one day! Maybe try bitter apple around the plants? Your pit will smell it and hopefully stay away.
ReplyDeleteYou should try potting plans, you will be amazed at what you can grow in a pot. hmmm, Im going to have to try bitter apple this summer. I wouldlove to have a passion fruit vine again, it is soooo yummy in the summer. Makes for a wonderful fruitful juice. Thanks for the tip. Bless it be
DeleteI knew a witch in Winnipeg who always planted a round circular garden, not a square or rectangular one. It was her way of honouring the Goddess.

DeleteThat is the dream, with stones and crystals. The pictures above is our potted garden in the back of my mothers home. We moved about 5 moths ago and most have died since then. I cant wait to have my own home. ;)
DeleteHow amazing! I love the photos! I hope you get your own home soon ;o) We have different herbs and a blackberry bush.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden! And you are right about how important it is to be more self sufficient when it comes to our food and herbs. Nice post.
