Grafting

I had the opportunity to graft my first tree at Merritt College. Left stem Gibson Golden Delicious Apple, right stem Moraga Antique Apple.

Holy Basil by Dana

Holy Basil smells so good. Here's a picture of the basil with flowers

Cutting the flowers off helps encourage more production of the leaves for eating

This is a picture of the flowers.  To me these little purple flowers smell just like grape candy. The flowers are also edible, however before you eat the flowers make sure you wash the flowers off really good to get any hidden bugs off.

The onions and beets are doing very well in this weather. They really like this crazy weather we've been having.
