I have a small Texas Olive I received as a gift last year and my friend thinks she bought it at Baker's Nursery (40th St south of Indian School) - in any case, Baker's has a beautiful Texas Olive on their property. Hummingbirds and butterflies love…

My Thompson seedless grape vine is 2 years old - I did get some grapes this year and they were very, very sweet but tiny which is not unexpected here. You will have to watch for grape leaf skeletenizers (aka. chicken treats) and make sure to protect…
I don't think tepary bean pods are purple - you probably have lablab beans (hyacinth) and those can be eaten fresh - if you want to use the lablab beans dried, you have to cook them a certain way to make sure they are not toxic. If you bought the be…
This is the first year I hve grown tepary beans and everything I have read or heard is that they are a dried bean - here is a pretty good link with info and recipes: http://azteparybeans.com/.
I also planted borage for the first time - apparently i…
I am married and have two sons - my oldest is a freshman at New York University and my youngest is a sophomore in high school. I became a Master Gardener in 2007 but I 've been gardening most of my life. I frequently have to plan my garden around some of our pets - dogs who dig and a 150lb tortoise who eats plants or just rolls over them like a tank.

Thanks again for the leads. I am personally doing 2 classes in August for the H&G Center. I may link them with the PPG to see what to attendance will be like. I will look at the community center as well.
Michele - I did meet John and I am personally talking there August 1st. He doesn't think the PPG could as they must be FREE classes - but I am personally happy to help fit his need of presenters! Thanks for the lead.
Hi Michele, will you post a new picture of your barred rocks together in the microlivestock forum with their age? Maybe it will be more obvious to some of us who have had roosters if your bird in question is a he or a she.
Hello Michele,
Checking in to see when you will be able to make a payment to the PPG for the Permaculture Design Course. The discount deadline is the 31st and it is also a cut off point for the course happening.
We (the PPG) have kept the course fees really low for many reasons community being one of them but we have to have 10 paid students to make the course work (Pay expenses). So i'm asking you and all the others that have RSVP to let us know where you are in the process. And To pay as soon as possible
Lylah - likewise to you and Michael - I feel connected through our tweets and on this site - one day we will meet in a class! Another hands-on Herb Planting class is coming in 2010!
Happy holidays and a peace-filled new year to all.
Doreen

I think we should meet by the knife sharpening van or the meat guy. Anyway, they are right next to each other and are closest to the north entrance. I think it's the north entrance. Anyway -- the knife sharpening van. I sure do hope I remember to br…
I have not met many of you because I am always so busy with school, work and kids. But I am so very grateful every time I do get the privilege to meet someone involved in the guild. I am from Oregon and often feel out of place here in NE Phoenix. Th…
Hi Lylah,
My friend Jennifer and I met you and your husband at the home tour in North Scottsdale a few weeks ago. We visited for quite a while in the front before the tour started. I am also appreciative of the wonderful community of people who shar…
