Found you while looking for Florida Garden Blogs.You are not the only one missing in action.Quite a few blogs have disappeared some as long ago as 2010.Me too although not a blogger, this is the first season since 2008 that the garden is in.Feels wonderful although the body keeps reminding me I am not as young as I was 30 years ago when the first garden was planted Hope to be reading lots of your blog.

We’ve always just harvested when its ready… but this year the restaurant we grow for wants to plan ahead for the summer. THANK YOU so much for the tutorial. We grow over 40 different types of produce and hand calculating was going to take a long time!

i planted a pound of the small red bean, i did not now it was a climber. how do you think they will do without a support system. i bought them at a grocery store, therefore no growing instructions. i just love redbeans and rice

amazing pics!! Enjoyed everyone! You are quite the funny writer and it was a blast to read! I found your site by searching for cuban buttercup, that was the yellow flower pic that you said you couldn’t remember the name… so I don’t know how your site was listed in google under..cuban buttercup turneria ulmifolia..
beats me, but it was fun!
Thanks!

I am very interested in planting the rice red bean. What do you recommend for plant spacing (in row and between rows)? Thanks.

Comment on Potatoes! by Stacy

Tomatoes can’t generally set fruit over a certain temperature, so I bet that’s your trouble. I’ve had good luck in high temps with ropreco paste and thai pink egg.

I’ve planted my first garden since I was a girl. The tomato plants are huge and fruitless (like much of this part of SC, a weird and widespread complaint) but the basil and pepper plants have taken over!

So smart of you to use the big-ass roast pans that can be recycled instead of scrubbed!
