It is almost Spring and we are all looking forward to the bursts of colors that will soon be painting our landscapes as the trees leaf out, the grass greens up and the flowers blossom! Our thoughts are turning to getting our hands in the dirt, working it and planting seeds!
As we all know, our food sources are becoming more and more depleted nutritionally and the costs are rising rapidly. I for one have decided to plant my first garden this year which has led me to start this group. I am depending on OV members with the expertise and experience of gardening to help those of us who are willing to learn. If there is someone who would like to get us started, please step up!
For those that have questions, please start posting them. Let's join together and have our own OV Community Garden!
I can hardly wait to bite into that ear of corn! MMMMMMMM (smile)

Thanks, where in California are you?

I have ordered from Richtards (.com) Catalog in Canada.
They have a plant call Toothache Plant. I know that is a nick name. I have forgotten the real name. Some places call it Peek-a-boo. That is why I have told you where I get it and what they call it.

What this plant does is numb. I think it is a nice addition to any garden. They have a picture of it. It is a low growing plant. Maybe 6-8 inches.

Another plant that is grown in California often is Goffer Purge. I pinched a leaf off and touched it to my tongue. I shall never do that again. It numbs also. I have no idea if it stops their heart. or not. I have no idea if it has lasting effects. It could be the first experience is enough for them and they look for a more pleasant shopping area. ;>) Goffer Purge is a taller plant. Much different look. I thought I got the G Purge at Richtards too. Now, I was unable to find it. I have no other name for it. Unable to get a picture. I think of a succulant when I see the Goffer Purge.

My plan is to surround my garden area with these two plants and Garlic before planting. I know the critters here eat my Garlic though. Already planted some of that. I have been told the G Purge puts something into the ground from their roots too. The longer they are in the area, the less trouble you have with critters.

I know if you are ready to garden now, you would have to use something else. I have another 6 month or so. It is time for me to get compost and set up to put the garden to rest for 6 months until I can get to the garden.

I never got the garden in this year. I just got my house in April. Had lots of things to do to the property and house itself. Looking forward to starting the garden area. One of the wonderful things here (California) I can garden nearly year round.

Other than the plants, I would think, however it is a challenge. I know there are animal traps. Catch the critters and carry them off a hundred miles or so. Giggle. Week-end outings. giggle.

Blessings to all in Love and LIGHT

I will really keep a watch on this forum. I would love to start an organic veggy garden. Thanks for doing this. I'm not really putting ideas in here yet because I really don't know what I do know about organic gardening heh. My grandmother used to do all this canning...pickling ... made her own butter etc. I think I would very much like to start doing things like that.

My plants, i just feed em miracle grow plant food at least every two weeks...
