It's that time of year.. Pawpaw ice cream is usually our go-to, but I think I'll make a couple pies to hold us over during potential power outages from the oncoming weather. Check out some of Kentucky State University's collected recipes and their Pawpaw breeding program

Great deal for this produce safety workshop. This is an approved FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) and PSR (Produce Safety Rule) training, for only $20. We did a 3 day HACCP/HARPC class at UGA 2 years ago to learn more on GAP (Good Agricultural Practices), but it's always good to improve practices and keep learning. Emily will be attending.

Our native perennial flowers are beautiful and adapted to the region, along with native pollinators. Check out a local native plant nursery for your flower beds/pollinator habitat. Remember every creature needs food, water, shelter, and space to reproduce: add puddling areas and watering holes, make a wood pile climbing with native vines. Support your ecosystem!

We're looking for another injection of likes/shares/comments to rev our distribution back up. Here's a collection of native perennials blooming NOW which are generally available at nurseries. SHARE this to show people how beautiful Georgia native perennials can be. Georgians need some of these native plants in their landscapes. Looking for nurseries that carry native plants? Check our website (www.gnps.org) and find the link for Sources at the bottom of the page. Thanks, everyone!

Aunt Rachel, Thompson Summer (?), and Sops of Wine. June/July ripeners, they could all use a tad more time. Michael is working on our inventory, mapping, and Spreadsheet today for the dwarf orchard while I study for the Master Gardener final exam. It's an office work weekend..

Dwarf apple orchard: 1yr leaf mulch, 2yrs sheet mulch (cardboard and wood chips), cover cropped in peas, getting ready for a round of buckwheat, weedy as hell regardless. 3D fence deer protection, daffodils and dogs for vole protection. We're also using kaolin clay for Japanese beetle protection and removing fire blight that appeared this year. This is High maintenance, ain't F-ing around.
