Well that certainly deserves a big Thank You......I like to think that we all do it.... But far be it from me to not take a compliment! Thank You MEERKAT....This is a nice site. Maybe it is because people like you flock to it.
I'm in 8b very North Florida. Literally just 30 miles from Georgia south border. Im thinking they should all be .fine here .

It's a lot of fun and keeps me outside too! Thank You.... I really love it and am very blessed to have all the room I have. I keep expanding . I could do a lot more but just can't until I'm there fulltime to care for it all!@Dutchs that is a huge garden and looks wonderful you have done a good job and the produce you are getting out of it is wonderful too. Isn't it wonderful to be somewhat self sufficient in vegetables and to be able to preserve some for other seasons too
I just was weeding and tilling cleaning up some old rows that the veggies were doing giving and realized there was a whole 100 foot row of strawberries under three foot tall grass and five foot tall weeds! I was amazed that they were actually in very good condition and still growing nice!
@Dutchs it is truly amazing what we find when we do a bit of weeding isn't it. I do think we have our work cut out for us as the weeds definitely grow faster than the crops most times. We weeded 3 x 9 x 2 mt garden beds yesterday and they look much better now. We have 8 garden beds that size and another one 10 x 5 mts in the back paddock gardens that we have put to sleep for the winter due to the drought here we cannot afford the water to keep that one planted out as well but we did harvest the last of the pumpkins from there though which are on the makeshift root cellar which is the front veranda with 90 % shade cloth covering it.
Especially this year. Early on the rain was on the monsoonal side. I was finally able to do some real tilling and weeding without making mud. I worked myself to exhaustion the last two weekends and was never more satisfied with what I finally got done! I always make plans to do more than humanly possible but rarely get stymed by so many obstacles. I have had some success to though. My flowers are looking great!
Thank you SC... That was part of my I tent for planting them. The beauty just relaxes me as well. I planted Lantana that's blooming all summer and every single time I look at them they have butterflies on them
Good for you guys. I see it as we are doing the world a favor. All the right plants aren't just for beauty but they help make nature tick! It's a true thing of beauty. I'm in awe of it every day.
Thank you TG.....your so nice!
I was watching a video from a guy called MIgardner, he says that rain actually helps replenish nitrogen in the plants and soil so in his opinion it's even better tahn just watering from our spicots......
