Ice Cream Bean – They are already growing – Update
Seedling update – Time passed… Two weeks. For the initial story click here. The ice cream bean trees are coming along nicely. It has been two weeks since they were planted. Even though this is Maui winter the little plants still want to live. I planted about 20 seeds in these pots and about half of them have already made…
Tabletop Water Garden Arrangement, Cute Easy and Affordable.

Swiss Made Perfection for your garden.
In 2002 I received my first “Felco 2” bypass pruners as a gift. I knew right away that these pruners and I would age gracefully together and still today, about 15 years later the Felco 2 is still my favorite pruner. They were such a smooth precise quality tool. As it turned out, they were designed for a larger hand.…
The Compost, To Sift or Not to Sift
When using store bought potting mix or store bought compost for potted plants I like to sift out the bits that are not all the way broken down or decomposed and any pebbles or large chunks of perlite. I will use this rough portion of the soil in the bottom of the pot. This way nothing goes to waste.
For the Love of Rats
First of all, I love rats! Rat are very smart nobody can argue that. And they are very cute too once you take away the negative stigma that has been attached to them. On Maui we have the most adorable rats. They are fast and agile fluffy little ninjas.
Display of Succulents started from Leaves
To view a brand new baby succulent emerge from a leaf is a very inspiring sight. It is also a great conversation piece. Many people are still intimidated by growing these exotic little plants. I get pure joy out of seeing people’s reaction the first time they see a plant come into existence from just a single leaf that was…
Fiskars SOFT Grip – Erika’s Garden Tool Tips!
A place I worked here on Maui provided the garden designers with some brand new Fiskars Softgrip Bypass Pruner (79436997J). They worked…but the quality of the cuts deteriorated quickly. Now to their defense I must say, Maui’s wet, salty air puts products of all sorts of qualities to the ultimate test. Still they should have held up better than they…
Good affordable all round garden pruning snips.
Fiskars Micro-Tip Pruning Snips work well on very fine stems and leaves. Look at them they are very pointy and sharp. If you get poked by them you will bleed. They ARE that sharp, so be careful. In addition to being sharp they are precise and sturdier than they look. If you are looking to cut through any kind of…
Protect Your Hands In the Garden.
If you want to be able to spend more time improving your garden it is important to protect your hands. I have tried many gloves over the years. I discovered the love of gardening when I was a child. Now nearly 4 decades later my love for plants is growing more and more everyday. Through the years I have worn…
What not to wear in 2017. . . bleh bleh bleh
Seriously? This was the last post I saw on facebook. If you are truly concerned about looking good it has much more to do with a positive attitude, healthy nutrition and quite a bit of moving around. It has absolutely nothing to do with wearing a v-neck or cargo shorts. I have been wearing the same clothes for the last…
The Amazing Ice Cream Bean
Two and a half years ago I bought an ice cream bean from the Whole Foods Market on Maui for a ridiculously high price ($9.99/lb) After enjoying this delicious fruit which tastes like vanilla ice cream with a texture similar to cotton candy, I planted the seeds in hopes to one day be able to casually graze on this fruit…
