Wonderful!
Does here do landrace/adaptation gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area? Or better yet, East Bay? Is there a community? I know that there are seed savers here and you can get their seeds at the Ecology Center in Berkeley. But is there a face to face group? Or garden tours?
Thank you,

Can Bay leaves be used as mulch? Must they be composted first? And what can I grow under the tree beside rosemary and lavender? Mine is a tall and beautiful tree with many suckers under it. The light is pretty dim underneath.
