Adorable, organic chew crew for landscape maintenance.(Or rent the flock if you do not live on Ag zoned property.) Instructions included. Avoid chemicals, save your trees and regain access and use of your property. Sheep are a delightful and effective alternative for vegetation control, especially in woodlands, steep slopes, or environmentally sensitive areas. These sweet young lambs can become easy care, family pets for years of service. Rather rent? I 5 years experience with prescribed grazing, including UGA sites. 30 years experience with sheep. Athens recently changed the livestock ordinance to allow prescribed grazing service in all areas of the county, though ownership is limited to Ag zoned property. Please call with questions or see my website: www.shadybrooksheep.wordpress.com

Jewels of Opar, Fame Flower (Talinum paniculatum) is a semisucculant, EDIBLE, tender perennial that does best in Georgia as an "expected" annual as its seeds go far & wide. It can grow to 3ft with a very firm, wide base of thick, lush & leathery leaves, a spike atop which blooms an array of beautifully dancing single pink blossoms. These then set seed which mature into a bright yellow ball making a delightful contrast with the remaining flowers. If you wish to control where it grows next year, be sure to deadhead or cut the stalk and use in your floral displays. It is pleasantly edible & supposedly quite good for one's health. Apparently new research is showing it to have anti inflammatory properties as well anti oxidants.

Great tasting summer apple.

Absolutely fabulous baking apple. Tree is ancient and never been sprayed to my knowledge. The fruit is ugly and the meat is sour with a hint of YUM. As a raw apple, I wouldn't suggest eating it, but warm it up just a little bit, AND THIS APPLE IS DELICIOUS. I've kept the horribly ugly ones and made apple bread, apple brown betty, apple tarts, fried apple pie and apple with brown sugar & cinnamon in a bowl. The less ugly ones are yours to try in your favorite recipe. There are bug spots on the skin, but these do not injure the meat, and I haven't found a worm, yet.

The leaves of this plant, known as Holy Basil or Tulsi Basil, have been used from ancient times until today for its healing qualities. Make it into a tincture, infusion, or just chew on the leaves to receive its benefit. This year I am growing 4 varieties of Tulsi - Kapoor, Krishna, Vana, and Rama.
