Fall Harvest Fruits & Exotics

by Carolyn Binder:  This weekend was a big one for farmers and gardeners in north Florida and South Georgia.  The New Leaf Market Farm Tour attracts an ever-growing crowd to its 32 participating farms, backyard gardens and dairies.  We often spend the entire weekend touring farms right near our home in Monticello. But this year, we were a little behind in our own planting and autumn chores. So we decided to make a morning visit to Just Fruits and Exotics, a teaching orchard and nursery in Crawfordville, Florida.  If you’re interested in learning how to grow fruit trees, it’s the place to go. They sell their stock via mail order from their website, www.justfruitsandexotics.com. The site is jam-packed with some of the best growing information I’ve found for almost every type of edible, so drop in and check it out. The nursery carries an amazing array of fruit, along with herbs and vegetables, and a selection of ornamentals for your garden. read more... Autumn Fall Fruits and Exotics

Growing in a Virtual Garden

Guest Post by Annie Haven (@greensoil )

Toiling in the Soil and growing sustainably is not new to me, Social Media on the other hand! hmmm
Well, you have to roll back a couple of years ago when I logged on to twitter and slowly began to meet gardeners. @GetintheGarden, @BetweentheLimes, @SusanLMorrison @SweetRebecca @bwisegardens, @gardenofwords @Suburban_Farmer, @BG_garden and those Bad Weed Band Boys of gardening @GardenWiseGuy @GypsyFarmer and @TeeRiddle. All of them posting beautiful garden blogs sharing the latest blooms and recipes they had growing on. Me, I’m just an Independent Woman Rancher with a 100% natural Soil nutrient garden product line, I harvest from my grass fed livestock, would I fit in? Would they listen to what I knew my Moo Poo Teas could do for the garden Soil (thank you @UniquebyDesign_ for the nick name Moo Poo Tea) as you can see it has stuck.

Well, I’m honored and humbled to say yes, each of these fabulous gardeners made me feel right at home in the garden with them. Chance tweetings on Thursday nights led to #gardenchat started by @GetintheGarden to give us all a place and a time to meet and share what we had growing on. From those early days to now #gardenchat under the direction of my garden gal pal Brenda Haas of BGgarden.com #gardenchat has blossomed into the Virtual Garden where Garden Bloogers, Garden Designers, Garden Show Hosts, Garden Product Companies, Growers and the everyday gardener can come share what they have growing on.

Meeting folks in the Virtual Garden of #gardenchat grows daily @agardendiary @Susanhammon

Winner Garden of the Month | RedneckRosarian

An invitation from our garden to yours…

Every month, we will feature a garden from one of our subscribers. Send us your pictures, along with a brief description of yourself, your garden and the particular plants or areas that you would like to highlight to information@costafarms.com.

The June 2011 Garden of the Month belongs to Chris from Helena, Alabama (Zone 7b). Chris has been growing roses for years, and about4 years ago, joined a local Rose Society to learn a “more excellent” way to cultivate our nation’s “National Floral Emblem”.

Folks ask Chris all the time why he grows roses and his answer is that growing is ‘just the natural progression of things’. Also know as the RedneckRosarian, this southern gentleman comes from a family that finds its roots firmly planted in the Deep South and all its awesome traditions. During civil war times, women gathered at cemeteries to decorate the graves of “our glorious dead” with blankets of spring roses. They wept and celebrated the lives of those who so bravely “fought the good fight”. Even today families gather for “Decoration Day” to decorate the graves and celebrate and remember.

Roses permeate so many facets of our lives, and Chris embodies that sentiment. When you visit his website at RedneckRosarian you will see his dedication to perpetuating knowledge about all types of roses and particularly the planting and care of rose gardens. If you look around his home, you will find yourself surrounded roses. They appear on dishes, photographs, upholstery, clothes, shoes, wallpaper and paintings. Chris valiantly attempts to do his part to expand the general interest and knowledge of the beautiful gift we have in the rose and to date, he has 73 roses under cultivation, representing over 60 varieties.

Miniature Roses & The MooPoo Experiment

Posted on April 10, 2011 by RedneckRosarian

“Tiddlywinks” Miniature Rose

Back in the dark days of winter, I was dreaming of the warm days of Spring and all the roses that would bloom. My thoughts turned to fertilizer. I have experimented in the past with Alfalfa tea and manure, and had some success. In fact, I have come to prefer it over chemical fertilizers.

“Tiddlywinks” Miniature Rose

I made an effort to reach out to Annie Haven at the Haven Family Ranch in California. She is the “Manure Queen”. Her family has raised cattle for decades and she has been fertilizing with manures for years. She suggested I try what she calls “MooPoo” tea. It is composted manure packaged in a “tea bag”. You just drop the “MooPoo” tea bag into 5 gallons of water and let it steep for about 3 days. Then, just water your roses with it. I ordered some of Annie’s MooPoo and decided that, as an experiment, I would use it only on my miniature potted roses. I wanted to see what, if any difference it would make to only use this particular product.
