Sunrise on the food forest. 1/4 acre of 100 fruit tree blossoms. VLOG 3.
It's almost April and the food forest is budding and blooming!
Leaves are GREENING! The sun just came up over the food forest....so let's take a short video and photo tour! Click here......for the video tour.
Our focus the last few days has been amending the beds in the greenhouse. Trimming trees and bushes. Top coating potted plants with worm castings and rock dust. Planting seedlings and sprouting new seeds. Basic food forest janitorial work.
Our home is in a small neighborhood not far from Zion National Park. The mountains of Zion are in the distance you can see the sun rising over.
Our home sits on 1/4 acre lot, including the house. 100 fruit and nut trees and many perrennial herbs, berries and annual vegetables grow here.

This is the apple guild/orchard growing next to the greenhouse. Gravenstein apple in full bloom. We are pulling tender succulents and palms out of the greenhouse today. They have been overwintering inside the dome. Top coating them all with fresh worm castings and azomite.
Inside the greenhouse, beds have been amended with fresh worm castings and azomite also, then top coated with about 6 inches of wood chips. That's cherimoya growing in the center beds. Aloe vera, tobacco, lavender, lemongrass and many other perennials line the outer perimeter growing beds.
My beloved... and food forest co creator...pachee @thegiftofself ....makes these worm castings in tumblers under our deck. We top coat most of our vegges with this black gold. Our son river LOVES playing with the worms...and is learning to help us top coat the plants also.
Gravenstein Apple Blossom below. Smells amazing!!

Apricot blossoms. They need thinning! Smells like purple pez!
Pakistani mulberry budding out.
Here come the comfrey!!!!! One of the MOST welcomed sights of spring around here! We use this plant for topical salves, chopping and dropping, foliar sprays...and so many other functions. Dropped 6 inches of wood chips over the whole forest this season and these hardy plants push the wood RIGHT out of the WAY!
The citrus and other tender ladies have been pulled out of the greenhouse also. Top coating them with fresh worm castings and azomite and letting them spend the rest of the season outdoors.
Moro blood orange blossoms.
Here's our whole family in the greenhouse together! My beloved Pachee @thegiftofself, here on steemit is sharing a lot about our forest and MANY other topics, so please check her OUT! Here's her most recent post on how we dry and process some of herbs can be caught right here: https://steemit.com/gardening/@thegiftofself/four-detoxifying-herbs-that-anyone-can-grow-at-home
