Many of you know Sam Powers of Santa Fe, TX and
have learned from him about jujubes, citrus, mayhaws, berries, hot-climate tree
fruit and much more. He and Ginger have written a book called "Our
Edible Landscape" that is basically his collective wisdom and experiences.
It's fantastic!
I met Sam and Ginger 15 years ago when I lived on
the Texas Gulf Coast and have been a receipient of their generous and gracious
hospitality and knowledge. You never leave their place without
a bouquet of antique roses, lemons, a bucket of blackberries or
jujubes.....which Sam pushes more than aggressively!
This wonderful book is applicable to many climates,
even cold ones like mine along the Illinois-Wisconsin border.
The book is published by the Texas AgriLife
Extension Service, Galveston County Office, Dickinson, TX.
I don't have a price or mailing address, but Sam
Powers is a lurker on this list. If we ask, he will post details on how to
purchase the book.
Meanwhile, I'm writing about his adventures with
bananas and starfruit in my blog at the Christian Science Monitor.
I'm The Edible Explorer and you can find my twice-weekly blogs and photos

BTW, Ginger started their carambola (starfruit)
from seeds contained in a grocery store purchase.
