Where to start

Wow where do i start its been a long time, ive learned a lot and have done a lot regarding gardening.

Well instead of spending the entire night catching up ill just talk about todays gardening events.

I walked through a wild brushy field and noticed that scotch broom is flowering. Scotch Broom is what i classify as a class three herb, which usually flowers in early summer. I have noticed that a lot of plants that flower in spring and early summer may flower a second time in the fall. For example there is a camelia on victoria north of hastings which is on the north side of a building. Camelia are the species which green tea and black tea come from, the difference in the teas is that black tea is fermented.

I bought a camera this year and took some photos but it wasnt until september. Through out the spring, summer and autumn so far ive managed to make 50 percent of my diet out of wild crafted and food from my garden. Also i should mention along with that ive gained weight while doing so.

I have moved recently and near my new house there are hazelnut trees, blackberries around them, with chocolate mint at the front of them and grapes growing over both trees and thicket.
