This is the first post in the LA Eco-Village Garden blog.
Appropriately, it begins with a photograph of our seedling nursery!
The gardens are in bloom, the vines and trees are heavy with fruit, and the gardeners are busy planting and harvesting! May this blog be the place to keep each other updated on our projects!

The migration of the pots. Dale has helped me move the smaller pots that had annuals in them to the area around the chicken enclosure. Now that the large tree is gone this area is much sunnier. It will be easier for me to keep the pots watered and the pots help shade the chickens from the heat of the sun. Planted in the pots are chard, basil, onions, cilantro, and flowers. I’m hoping to feed the chard to the chickens. The basil will produce more than I can use, so please harvest it. Tomatoes, zukes and other squashes will be available to pick in a few weeks. Enjoy.

Thank you Andrea, this is quite lovely.
I have been picking plums up off the ground in the northeast courtyard several times a day for over a week now. I think I’m getting about 40 a day. I’ve been washing them and putting them in a basket on the round table in the lobby. With some of the older,softer ones, I cooked them today, got a quart jar of stewed prunes. I’m sure they’ll last a long time. Come by and try some if you’d like. They’re in my fridge. If I’m not around, help yourself. I’m sure they’ll clean out your kanutenvalve.
Also, today, I planted the last of the workshop plants from 5/29/08, a muskmelon, in the northeast courtyard plot. I also planted quite a few daikon from seeds Joe gave me yesterday. I planted them just south of the pomegranate and apple tree in the north east courtyard where the earth is quite hard.
I watered Aurisha and Somer’s garden today too. I’ve been watering the seedlings in the lower courtyard every day also.
