⚠️Autumn in Citrus county brings Citrus – Nov Dec January – We have Ruby red and white grapefruit, Hamlin orange, Navel orange, and Valencia orange ripens last. Sugar cane will happen in Oct Nov ~Dec. 🍏 Our apple season is a quick two weeks–month around April/May; we have 4 apple trees in the back of the field that the squirrels usually help themselves to

Listen to the wisdom of the w**ds!
These plants may be growing where we don't want them, but they're trying to tell us something. Take dollarw**d, for example. Its presence can indicate that we need to adjust our gardening habits.

Perhaps we're overwatering or not providing proper drainage. But here's the good news: dollarw**d is edible and packed with nutrients! Enjoy it in salads, as a herbal tea, or even fermented like sauerkraut. By embracing this "w**d," we can reduce our environmental impact. With over 40 million acres of lawn in the US, it's time to rethink our gardening practices.

By making a few simple changes, we can create a more sustainable and thriving garden ecosystem. So, next time you spot dollarw**d, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow - and maybe even enjoy a tasty snack!

Carolina extra notes 📝 Just like spinach it’s high in oxalates. VFW 2811 public demonstration gardens is biocide free. Smaller than a quarter coin are tastier.

Crystal-clear waters, sunbeams dancing through the cypress trees, and that signature Florida chill that only those springs can provide.

DO NOT DRIVE ONTO OUR PROPERTY.
Whether the gate is open or not.
Guests are not allowed.
After hours at 230, I mistakenly left the gate open, they drove down, they backed up into one of our watering pipes. They get to drive away without consequences and now it's our problem.

If you have any questions about this issue, my number is on the front gate.

Perfect conditions today for our first ever scallop outing, since our move here in 2021 😄 We drove down to Ozello, and Captain Stephanie took great care of us in the very low tide, we found so many scallops hiding in the eel grass and we learned to help shuck em all too!

(I am 22 wks pregnant with our first, a baby girl 🩷🥰 We're so excited!)

Very Grateful!
