Here in Central Florida we had a couple hurricanes this season. This caused a lot of plants to die and a late start to be had. We are in winter now but I decided to try to tomatoes anyway LOL. They are certainly performing well although taking some time to ripen because of the lack of heat. Some days we can get in the low 80s so that helps.

In this crazy world, this little tiny spot brings me the most joy and trumps any hobby that I have ever had. There is nothing like picking fresh food out of your own garden. This we can trust!

Helping the Monarch's along without getting too crazy. Made a little patch of milkweed with trellis outside. Small percentage in the wild seem to survive due to not enough milkweed and the T fly. I will be growing milkweed so I know its not been sprayed. These poisons gives them a disease and they won't make it. Also $15 a plant is getting expensive and the nurseries often times run out when I have dozens of mouths to feed, they eat a ton! That broke my heart. So in time I will create a natural habitat to help. Love helping them along! ❣

Some pics this morning. ❣ Ya can't beat the taste of home grown food. Juicing saved my life! Can't keep the cucumbers in stock because who doesn't love fresh cucumber salad with herbs, especially dill. Fresh herbs on the salads and to cook with levels up your dishes. Who knows what commercial growers spray on our food. Toxic chemicals. They have to to control bugs. I make a safe insecticidal soap and bt for worms as needed. With the heat comes the bugs. Planted marigolds for not only their beauty but to also attract pollinators, trap crop and fixes bad nematodes in the soil. Nature is so amazing.

They are coming in, here is some help to pick out some good ones.
