We are also having a very weird weather spring and I don't know what on earth is up with the garden. FINALLY having some salad. As soon as everything is ready here it is bolting. From cold, grey and rain to heat and sun overnight. Shocking, but beautiful!Food Down Under is one of my favorite places to get recipes. This is where I found a million things to do with mulberries! They have some ideas for loquat, hope it helps! http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=loquat Everything looks so delicious.

I just found you all today and I am blown away! Everything you are doing is so amazing and inspiring. I can not wait to start a homestead of my own. I was waiting on more land but your family is an example of why that is not always necessary. Thanks so much and keep it up! I have you bookmarked now so I will be checking back in! WOW!

It makes me impatient to start digging and planting in my gardens. But up here in Ontario Canada we aren't quite ready for spring planting yet. Frost warnings don't end till the middle of May.A good sign is that the strawberries are just now showing buds. I do love seeing pics of your garden.
