Scrub Jay Farms

New flowers for the front.

Garlic chives blooming away!

How are our efforts carried into the world? These sunflowers are all volunteers from my place and face a grade school for crowds of kids to enjoy. It gives me hope that even when we can’t see the benefits of our work the good gets spread out in one way or another.

Grapes are in!

Onions are easy! These Vidalia transplanted nicely, the bugs left them alone and they look like funny hidden Easter eggs crowning out of the dirt.

Yellow cherries from Cherry Dog Orchards in Fallon. Bright flavor like a Rainier, very nice!

Blackberries on the way!

Full bore! Most of the blossoms are now open for business.

The cardoons have started blooming! One of the prettiest thistles I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Unlike artichokes, cardoons are grown for their tender stalks, eaten in soup or fried.

Variegated Burle Marx philodendron as a bonsai start.

My new greenhouse, dug out like a walipini to help better maintain temperatures. A few panels and fans shy of complete but almost there!

Another emotional growth plant talk, this time with the faculty of , thank you for having me!
