We have begun to dig and plant and grow. There were a few days this week where the garden was full of folks giving a hand at various projects. There is something really wonderful about people coming together in a space like a garden. Working together and with the Earth.
Prickly Pear
Prickly Pear
We rescued this Agave from Bisbee, it was uprooted and tossed to the side.
Some of its' arms were bent and I hope it will recover. It has still got a bit of that powerful Agave presence to it.
This agave as served as a strong symbol to me lately . Like a mirror.

So that's what "tunas" are called! Prickly pears! I was always calling them "that juicy fruit that grows out of cacti and leaves annoying little stinging hairs on your hand if you're not careful". :)
I always feel a bit more sane after talking to you. much love habibi.
Joel and I are going to start making kombucha! Do you have cultures/mushrooms? I'd be more than happy trading you something for them if you want, or pay for postage. And if you don't I'll find someone in my area. :0)
oh i miss the prickly pears (fichi d' india) i had while in sicily! they were growing so abundantly where i was when i was there! while riding in bicicletta through la campagna i would stop sometimes to feast on them. oh so carefully... cutting off the two ends, slitting the skin, and peeling back to reveal the gift. buonissima!
