Day 5: Jeff's Edible Garden


Roland and his friend worked all afternoon into evening (13-20:00) redoing the edible garden, taking out or moving existing plants and planting the newly bought fruit trees and shrubs. We planted two Pomegranates, one Pineapple Guava, two Goji Berries, one grape vine, and one Surinam Cherry in my friend’s garden. The goal was to increase the yield and diversity of edible fruit. So we planted all of the fruiting plants we had bought at Exotica, except the Jujube, and also planted a grape vine. Every year when we visit our friend, he and Roland do much work to improve the garden. Exotica Nursery has a great selection of many kinds of edible plants and everything they do is organic. Most other nurseries are not even close to being organic since they use many toxic chemical sprays, such as pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. And most other nurseries use cheap petroleum based fertilizers that last for years in the plant’s root ball and leach into your garden’s soil when you plant it at home. That’s why I highly recommend Exotica Nursery for their superior plants, great selection, knowledgeable owner, and organic practices.

Do you know of any organic nurseries? Tell us about them and what makes them special.
