The Bamboo Jungle
We are an older couple living on our 10 acre homestead in southern Alabama. I am 'deb' and have a rare plant nursery and my hubby is 'Db' and he has a classic car restoration on our homestead. Together we have a lot of fun and are living the "good life" in our senior years. Come join us and see if you can keep up!

Mothers Day Surprise!
Yes, I know, this is a Satellite dish but how does this mesh with the title of this post? Well, here is the story behind it.
A few years ago they came out to change our satellite dish to a new model and did not remove it from our property. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. A birdbath that I would mosaic and place out front.
Hubby got as far as attaching it to a pvc pipe but I could never figure out exactly where I wanted it so it laid around for a couple of years.
Since we are very frugal with our money and had some unexpected expenses this year, one right after the other, I told hubby to be sure and not spend any money on Mothers Day this year. "It's time to put the birdbath up." I said.
So, here is where it stands in the corner of our fenced in area of the front of our little yard where the furbabies are allowed to run and play and do their business every day. I will now get out all my mosaic tesserae that I keep in boxes and begin the project in earnest. More pics to follow on this project as it goes along. Have a blessed day!

Pluerry™, Peacotum™ and NectaPlum®
Pluerry™, Peacotum™ and NectaPlum®There are some very exciting new hybrids in the fruit tree industry and I, among many are looking forward to growing these trees.
It is possible to now grow trees in the deep south that we never thought possible before such as Cherry, as well as Raspberries; something unheard of before! Don't worry, this has nothing to do with GMO, but is simple hybridizing and root grafting techniques that have allowed this to come into being.
Another thing I am very excited about is the ability to plant many more fruit trees on our properties than ever before. With "Summer Pruning" and "Close Planting" we can now grow enough trees to have a large orchard on as little as 1/4 acre!
Dave Wilson's Nursery site has much information on all of these subjects, so set aside some time to go visit them through the links here. You won't be sorry!
