Garden questions answered here!

Open forum! Got gardening questions? Fire away! We're headed into winter full bore here in Northern California with a series of whopper storms threatening to take out power, limbs, trees and flooding the rivers and streams all over the North state. But I'm thinking about SPRING! And of course spring planting! Can I sway you to think about it as well? If so, please let me know what your thinking of growing this year. If you are still holding out, tell me whats holding you back, maybe we can work out the kinks and get you growing up too! We have a Facebook page for Full Circle Organic Gardens too! Come ask there or message if you like! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Full-Circle-Organic-Gardens/153242518077764

Fruit leather inspiration!

It dawned on me today while I munched on a tasty fruit leather strip I bought in a bulk pack at Costco that we should make our own! I have been attempting to empty the freezer of all its contents via creative diners, meals and smoothies for the last month and I have a HUGE amount of blackberries and strawberries from last years crop staring at me every time I open the door. So...Forrest, my oldest son at 8 years of age and I are going to attempt strawberry and blackberry fruit leather. Below is the recipe I choose out of a million to make our tasty treats. Looks simple enough...let's see! I have a feeling that this will be one of many fruit leather making sessions since my boys LOVE them. We do have some pears on the trees this year and we have high hopes that the apple tree will produce this year. Not to mention Pomegranate in November after our annual pomegranate jelly/syrup party. Let me know if you are interested in attending this year, its growing and growing! Fruit Leath...
