Jaboticabas and blueberries

                          I thought I would share some more of my garden. I was delighted to find four year                                                  old jaboticaba trees fruiting for the first time!

Jaboticabas are really easy to grow and will adapt to any soil

as long as you keep them watered in the drier times.

Growth will be slow at first, but once they start to grow they

really take off. These trees are a great addition to any food forest.

As always at this time of year, fresh blueberries are a treat.

I grow mine in big pots as they like acidic soil.

How to see and feel faeries

Faeries love kind people who care for them, the Earth, plants and animals. The very best way to increase your chances of faery contact is to have FUN! Do lots of fun things and planting a tree or 200 can't hurt either. See this great article

Hosting a Faery tea party

So you want to hold an unforgettable faery tea party?

Remember, faeries will party any time so be prepared for a long celebration...

You may want to hold a twilight tea party, but faeries don't follow

time as humans do..

Just choose a beautiful, natural environment with lots to view

faeries love to eat, so include sweets, honey, shiny, pretty food..

Anything sweet really is good

Sugar flowers; what could be more divine?

Fruits and berries also will be fine

Some games for sure, how about these jars to store

all the sparkly things hidden in the garden

faeries love music, this is a must if you

really want to please.

As the sun begins to set a fire twirler or two

is guaranteed to appease any of your esteemed guests.

Gifts are also good manners in the faery world,

why not something living to remind of your giving?

Have a wonderful time!
