Today I took the opportunity to check on a planting of pomegranate cuttings we made from our mother tree. I started 80 cuttings in the spring of '24, rooting them in pots, and planted 24 dormant survivors late fall '24; ones that had shown new growth in the summer. Once planted, they have had no irrigation, no fertilizer, and minimal weeding. Today I found ten that still had stems up; one is showing early spring budding, surviving but struggling. Pomegranates need a pH of 5.5 to 7.0, with moist but well-drained soil. I think this sandy soil is great for drainage; however, the pH is too low. The plants aren't getting an uptake in nutrients to thrive. We'll continue to check in on them, but there is a better plant for this low-pH soil.

MoJo - it’s the dirt. In 2022, coming out of the pandemic chaos we needed to have our lives solidly attached to something more. We chewed on the idea for a bit and narrowed our sights to agricultural land with timber pine tree production. A plot of land we could touch dirt and steward while watching the trees grow. A place MoJo could take root. We found an unnamed piece of dirt in Crawford County, Georgia. In an agricultural community sitting on the ancient sandy dirt left behind by an ancient receded ocean shore. In the wild areas native longleaf pine forests harbor animals through mild winters and hot summers, wet season and dry. But our dirt was not so wild, not so natural. It has been cut over and replanted through the years multiple times by multiple owners. Supporting those that came before with harvests of timber grade loblolly pine, hunting deer and turkey, and before that the ancient uses lost to time. So we set out as the latest stewards. We formed MoJo to explore our mojo dreams. And like all dreams, reality likes to spice things up a bit. Timber ain’t what it used to be. So we have fallow ground. What next for the dirt?
