One of the gardens I'm helping with this year. Irrigation was added today.

Here is a wild iris growing in the woods.

This is a fake "Before and After", since I didn't take a picture of the area before I started.

It took me about an hour to do some "fuel consolidation". By collecting the dead matter into isolated areas, it makes the land safer in the case of a nearby forest fire. Embers might extinguish instead of igniting tinder.

While cleaning up a property that might be ours, we noticed several Sugar Pines.

There are so many buds on all of my mature Rosa Gorda opuntias this year. This is the first flower of many!

Bee hive

I cleaned up this used bee hive in anticipation of their arrival. I picked a location where they will get morning sun, afternoon shade (and a windbreak) from nearby trees, while sitting between a creek and a pond. I'm excited to see if they like it!

Maybe they're just trying to kill off the dumb ones?

Off the top of my head, John Sajo. He had been growing cannabis covertly for 30 years, and his product made all other growers take notice.

I think what made his mentorship effective was:

o- He had me doing the process, not just showing me.

o- He told me what he knew, what he didn't know, what he suspected, and what others suspected

o- I was encouraged me to experiment

o- I was given the minimal amount of what was necessary for near 100% success

o- The clones for my first garden came directly from Ed Rosenthal (again, setting me up for success)

o- We had fun the whole time I was learning
