02.06.2021: Meet Paul D’Anna~ Mirliton Heirloom Gardener

Paul D’Anna is what I would call an expert on Mirliton heirlooms. I had the pleasure of visiting him in early February and he was kind enough to let me record his backyard garden. He shares tips on structural growing plans and shows his wonderful heirlooms.
Last year my cousins were kind enough to buy eat plants for me however the rats at the garden took them away!
Determined to grow heirloom Louisiana Mirlitons I traveled to Metairie, Louisiana in early February where I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Paul myself. What a pure delight!
I went home with two Papa Sylvest‘s and two Israel Thibodeau‘s and I’m keeping a close watch on them until as he says after Good Friday, then they will go into the ground.
Two of one variety (undecided right now) will go at my house and two will go to the community garden.
Much appreciation to Paul for taking time with me and for taking time with these melatonin’s and making them a resource for our Gulf Coast area.
Wish me luck... and find me next year for a share!
