Graduation Day!

Very proud to say, today, four of our young ones graduated this morning,
from 5-gallon pots to 15-gallons! This healthy youngster is the first of four Kei apples transplanted during this morning's fog cover.

Tradewinds Fruit
Daleys' Fruit

Normally we transplant in the early evening, but these Kei apples are so hardy that they won't even notice the (more moderate) Sun today. Last week we repotted six Kiwi fruit, and definitely did that in the last afternoon, as the are so sensitive. Four Chayotes we transplanted into the ground last week, in late afternoon, suffered greatly in the onslaught of those few days of summer Sun. Ended up covering them with some brush to keep them shaded for the next week or two while they recover.

This coming week have more Kiwi fruit, and mulberries to repot. No end of mulberries! {Please keep an eye out for 15-gallon or larger black planter pots for us ... still haven't found a source.}

As we, the family of Goddess Moon, renurture our Valley. Moving out of our adolescent ancestries of 'hunter-gatherers', to enlightened planters, healers, stewards.

Returning the gardens, returning the waters, returning air and quiet, peace and love.

Collectively re-singing creation.
