I am guilty of buying vinca from the nursery. I am also guilty of setting a 20' pine tree on fire trying to burn yard rubbish. I was mortified when I had to call the neighborhood fire department to come put it out. They put out ALL the little rubbish fires I had burning, too. I guess they decided that I could not be trusted with any kind of flame.

In a few months, hopefully I will be posting about our garden project in the mountains of Costa Rica. I have never seen such beautiful native flora anywhere in my life. I can't wait to start cultivating it! I'm also planning to grow vegetables and fruits by the truckload. And turmeric! I'm loving that stuff. I can surely tell a difference in how my body feels since I've been guzzling golden lattes several times a day.
