Low hanging fruit! We love it when people grow their own dragonfruit at home! Great job, Stacey!
Wednesday’s August ARTfarm PopUp features dragonfruit and once again, lots of luscious longan fruits. Also a few herbs and baby pineapple plants. It’s been just a handful of people so come with your gardening questions and keep the farmer company.
TBT: Roi collecting sunflower seeds. Piles of harvested pineapple slips await peeling and planting.TBT: Our adopted border collies, Ginger and Spice (now 11!), vigilantly patrolling the pineapple gardens over the years to discourage rats. We’ve seen these athletic dogs leap all the way over the row of spiny plants during the hunt. This is still a viable and much more entertaining alternative to poisons for controlling crop pests on an organic farm. During dry times there is increased pressure from all pests on farm crops and resources. Good farm dogs make a world of difference.
Stay cool, and see you Wednesday afternoon! 5:30 – 6:15pm.
