- Subject: [NAFEX] Alabama A&M Ag Open House

The Alabama A&M Ag open house in Hazel Green was
well worth the trip. Although the late freeze prevented peach production
this year, I found my first taste of jujubes delicious. The many
varieties offer fruit over a long period. Jujubes will definitely be added
to my fruit collection.
They are experimenting with various methods of mushroom
production both inside and outside. (Mushrooms may not be a fruit but they
do fruit!) A rain catchment system set up with connecting plastic trash
containers under a metal roof provided a great deal of water even from
minimal rain.
I came away with a lot of information and
inspiration.
Thanks to Rob Hamilton for getting this started and thanks
to Rhonda and Rudy for spending their Saturday to show us their
projects.
