Welcome
@Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson please meet @Dar Brown coming in from Alaska. Dar, Manda is from Australia and Susan from New Mexico so we are getting started with a broad group of growing climates. Welcome all... this will be a great site for us to learn and share; I appreciate all your input. Merry Christmas, may you and family be filled with grace and make some great memories.
Please ignore the actions on the site for the next 2 days...
Hello Oasis Builders... I am a member of another site called SkoolYard which is a group of entrepreneurs learning and sharing together helping each other grow. They are having an escape room challenge for fun over the next 2 days. There might be a bunch of activity over the next two days on our site that should be ignored as they elected our site as a safe house for there escape. It might look a little crazy for just two days, so please just ignore and I will clean everything up Friday. Its all in the name of fun and I appreciated your understanding. @Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson @Dar Brown
Welcome Dar Brown
We look forward to learning and sharing with you @Dar Brown. The site is being built over the next copy months so as you see things you would like added please share. The class rooms will open after you send a couple posts. Do you garden currently? I love to cook as well and we will have a prepared module as we go along. Thank you for joining us.

@Susan Eaton @Manda Jackson Peppermint has cooling and drying energetics, so if you are cold natured, not the best in the winter months unless used with ginger to balance it out for a cold decongestant... Peppermint helps ease emotional tension and sinus pressure.

@Manda Jackson no, will help the lemongrass germinate as long as it does not wash away... try to catch a light rain so it can sprout; takes about a week.
Welcome Manda Jackson

@Manda Jackson Little more patients and takes about 5 years to establish. Faster way is to buy a couple 1 - 2 year saplings because it typically takes two trees to fruit. If by pit, eat the cherry and remove all fruit... let the pit dry out a few days. Then wrap in a damp, not wet, paper towel and put in a plastic sandwich bag. Place the bag in the frig for about 3 months. At the end of the 3 months, plant 1" deep in soil... takes about a week to germinate... keep it damp through the frig and germination process, not wet. Once plant germinates, should grow 1 year before transplanting outside. transplant outside in July.
