Hang in there, Annie! We’re supposed to get some cool by the end of this week. Maybe it’ll stick this time.

Yep. Almost time to start the fall garden.

Amy, The one thing that I was so eager to do when we moved away from FL (to the Atlanta area) was plant a big garden. It was so therapeutic. I tried growing things in FL. Had the best luck with Irises, hibiscus, azaleas, and eaten up nasty veggies!

Do I miss FL? YES! Do I love having fall arrive and going to a pumpkin patch where the pumpkins are still on the vines and we get to actually pick them off rather than pick them off the ground where they were placed when they were removed from the Virginia delivery truck? YES!!
Blessings dear MOMYS

What a dream. Plant some for us.

Ya’ll have been gardening all summer long, while us Floridians have been cooped inside, praying over our AC bill. (tsk, tsk) Florida does not have summer gardens, just spring and fall. It’s a trade-off, but there are still numerous things that will never grow here: brocolli, raspberries, and 90% of pretty flowers, to name a few!

Oh, and any non-citrus fruit tree! But when ~~life~~ Florida hands you lemons, you make lemonade.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, I cannot even imagine PLANTING now! In fact, we’ve already had a couple of frosts, so if folks didn’t harvest their tomatoes, it’s just too late!

What a dream. Plant some for us.

Curious - do you do organic or conventional gardening?

Good question…Sounds like a post topic; I’ll try to write later this week.

What a wonderful front porch! It looks so down-home, makes me want to pull up with my glass of tea and do a few rows on a sweater.

I second Julie’s comment, but for MN. Talk about some fun gardening times here.

We have a friend from Mississippi who was here doing his Masters in Seeds, now he’s in Flordia doing his PhD. I’d say he’s getting a well-rounded gardening education.
