Cultivate abundance for people, plants and wildlife - Growing with Nature
Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I sowed chickpeas way too early. They didn't seem to mind the cold in the
garage and they grew at least 12" tall before I could transplant them outside.
By that time they were cramped in those 2" soil blocks. Of the 20 I sowed 12
made it to the garden. After a few days outside they all turned coppery brown.
Eventually they recovered but I can't imagine they enjoyed being burned by
the sun like that. Next year I will do better I hope.

Love the garden. How are the fences lasting? Any repairs or maintenance needed yet?

Ricthers offers several varieties of chamomile. I chose Zloty Lan because of
its high chamazulene content despite the fact that I don't know what
chamazulene is. One thing is for sure, the plants are beautiful. They liven up the
garden a lot and not just with their beauty, they attract lots of bugs. Something big
even decided to sleep in the patch. Chamomile is so soft! It must have been a
comfy nap.
