Face To Face With An Uninvited Guest in the Meadow
This was quite a surprise today. The sun was up, and I was taking my morning stroll around the Meadow. I looked up because I heard some scurrying. The other day, I heard something similar, but I assumed it was birds.
I'll definitely be more careful before sticking my hands into the fruit trees.
Have you had any unexpected guests in the garden?

How Are The Bananas Growing 4 Years Later?
Просмотров 35716 часов назад
Our garden is in Zone 9B, in Northeast Florida. And while we planted this banana circle 4 years ago, we had our first bananas within 18 months, but it's been slow going every since. I suspect it is because we've not done a great job separating the new pups from the mother, but still, I'm very happy. If I had to estimate it, we have more than 30 banana plants growing here. And now we have 5 diff...

Have you considered burlap around the poles for your cucumbers? I have some for the trunks of small trees but think it might also work as a grippy surface on your pipes. I’ve got dragon fruit that I’m trimming as well and starting more plants, cantaloupe and watermelon in bloom, and plans for three sisters. It’s extremely hot here in Phx, hoping our monsoon season will at least bring cooler temps, but some rain would be much appreciated too.

I usually eat most of my tomatoes fresh but I did can quite a bit of crushed tomatoes and sauce this year from my Florida garden so the pantry is getting pretty well stocked for the off season. Nice haul Michele! I planted a few Shishitos this year but didn't get much before I left. I'm sure the raccoons will enjoy them.
