    It is too bad I cannot continue gadening all year long because of the winter. My dream is to have a very large garden on my property when I am older. Grow most if not all of my own veggies. Do any of you do this? It is so fulfilling tending to a living organism. I feel like the earth is magic in my hands. This probably has to do with some deeply engrained Pagan beliefs.

    I thought gardening was patented by the British...and you Canadian! Oops. Mea culpa.


    Nah, just kidding. Should be fun. Maybe one day I'll try!

    Its such a chick thing, you know? It has to pretty deeply ingrained in the female nature.

    I've never grown ANYTHING other than the mold on my hockey equipment. I can see the appeal though, you know?

    It really is!!! I fell in love with this one "wwoof" (Willing Working on Organic Farms program) small farm in Peterborough area I visited. Truly breathtaking garden. Looked like rural engladn even, but it was hot as hell that day.

    That is part of a large farm I own in Central America.

    We grow organic fruits, palms and other exotic plants.

    What you are looking at is thousands of air orchids. I forget the scientific name.

    Here is what one of them looks like. I had to re size the image to upload.

    No, these are ornamental. You should not eat these. I like them becase they do not root. They draw water from those funky twisty stems that grow out of the middle.

    I have all kinds of fruits and other plants that you can eat or use for medicine or even make tea or alternative fuel.

    No that's not the name. I forget the exact name. That why I have employees that know that kind of stuff. My brain only can focus on so much.:)

    There is a common name and a Latin name. There is also local names. So you could be right.

    But I would recognize it if I saw it.
