Garden Friends
"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."
Join me and my garden friends as we tackle the never-ending challenges involved in growing a sustainable and beautiful outdoor habitat in Central Florida. After 30 years of growing vegetables, fruit, and flowers, I'm still gardening by trial and error, and I have the special challenges that come with sharing our home with some very eager 4-legged helpers who have their own agenda for my garden.
