Hey hey hey
Due to some poor vet appointment planning on my part, we had to be delayed by a day but here we are to see what nature with my help has brought forth for us this week.
As a reminder, I garden organically (no pesticides or herbicides, only organic fertilizer) in Zone 9b in Central Florida. I started gardening in April 2021. learning as I go on YouTube and blogs.
Today, to the glee, I’m sure, of some of my friends, is sunflower day because we have a ton!
Starting in the front yard, here I am standing in front of a clump of three. Please excuse my dirty dress hanging off my body. Let’s all remember, I just lost almost twenty pounds and I’m certainly not shopping for new clothes any time soon. Plus, I was gardening most of the morning. For reference, I’m 5’1…that tall one has to be 9 ft!
Next are a few pictures of the flowers close up
Now, for our banana check in. Remember, we have three that are fruiting! These are dwarf Cavandish bananas, the same kind as you get in the grocery only smaller.
Now, onto the backyard..
For more sunflowers. 😀
The papaya and passion fruit are still going strong!
The tomatoes I planted to replace the Everglades that got destroyed by root knot nematodes are doing well.
The cucumbers are going strong, and I did remember to plant luffa…those haven’t started coming up yet.
The strawberries are still coming in
And, now, for the finale. The potato plants started dying off which meant it was time to pull them.
Since I planted so late in the season when it was already pretty hot, we didn’t get much of a harvest.
Thank you for joining me on this tour of our gardens!
Happy Friday Farm Day!
