I used to hate living in Florida. In my old life it was a
miserable place. It's not anymore. True unconditional love has opened my eyes
and my heart to the beautiful place that is now home. Until I met Mike it
didn't feel like home. I can now appreciate the abundant sunshine and greenery
and flowers and gardens. It rarely gets cold here. Cold is relative to where
you live. I put a sweater on when it's 70 outside; my sister dons a t-shirt. We
are currently experiencing a cooler front and that is ok. I get to wear
sweaters and fuzzy socks. I get to snuggle really deep under the blankets. I
hug on my man a lot more. It will be back up in the low 80s on Monday. Perfect
timing as I have some work to do in the garden.
My garden is coming along nicely. We have little jalepenos
and tomatoes growing. My lettuce is loving the cool temps. My strawberries are
starting to creep. I think it is time to remove them to their own container
now, while they're still young. I hear they take over if not constantly tended
to. I plan to grab a half whiskey barrel and plant them in there. They will
have plenty of room and it will look pretty. I find something to put in their
place.
I would love to expand my garden but in its current location
that isn't possible. I want to be able to plant a lot more stuff. I have
thousands of heirloom seeds just waiting to go. I have some wonderful squashes,
cucumbers and corn, etc. I would love to do a huge garden. We have the room in
another area of the property but it is currently overgrown with brush. We would
need to clear it all out and then rototill it; that is if we don't have to
grind stumps. I think just clearing it would be fine and then I could do raised
beds. They don't need to be all that level. They would be just like us, a
little twisted. How appropriate for my garden.
