Jecho said… - Hello Lakeecha,
How are you maintaining your fig tree? Mine are the Kadota ( green ). Its just been put in his past winter. But I didn't take into account just how huge these things get. I planted it about 6 feet away from my persimmon tree (which went in the same time). Are you keeping it in a container?

- Well, the tomatoes are being put to use in salsa and (with the basil) bruschetta. I have to try to grow flat leaf parsley and cilantro next year. Garlic will be the next years trial. Perilla is an interesting herb. I tried it with a korean style of marinating it in soy sauce and hot chiles with a bit of sugar. Its eaten with rice as a type of condiment relish. The corn was very nice bit itself but I think I wont do it again.Too much water and too little pay off.
The citrus are in containers. I haven't the courage to stick them in the ground here. They have had masses of flowers except the satsuma mandarin which is just a bunch of leaves.
The pitaya has not flowered yet.
The amaranth i have tried and its quite pleasant in stir fry but I didn't grow enough. the fig tree just was put in this year so its only had the summer fruit come in and its still a sapling. The persiminnon, I am training it to a festoon. No fruit yet. I am waiting for august to empty my raised bed and start my bokchoy and swiss chard and may be even spinach and radishes. cant wait.

- Thanks for the welcome. I love the stuff thats here. I'm only just starting (melons, lemons, limes, tomatoes, amaranth, chilis, patayas, figs, grapes, basil, perilla, chives) but I can't wait to try other things.

ilex said… - HI Lakeecha, I love what you wrote in the "locavores" thread. As another newish, 38-year-old gardener, I was nodding along as I was reading it (I also had to eat everything put in front of me, too). Thanks very much for taking the time to write it. I look forward to reading more from you!
Love you pictures, by the way.
