Feb 23 a Garden Date

Dug what seems to be good organic soil from low ground, In South Florida, that’s not easily found . Moved that dark gold to a higher spot, By the pond in front of Mary’s lot. Planted rows north to south. A month late for planting but we’ll see. The hot Florida sun may burn the sprouts, But they’ll be neath the shade trees by three. Planted snap peas, summer squash and butter beans, Detroit dark reds, turnips and chard greens, Big boy and early girl planters, and other tomato seeds. They ought to well supply our tomato needs. Cauliflower by seed, hope they come through, Only four broccoli plants made it. That ‘ll do. Sweet banana peppers and jalapenos for a friend, Lettuce, radishes and carrots; carrots to no end.. Sowed cilantro and chives to add some spice. Next time some garlic and parsley will be nice. A month later and already the moles are working the ground, Doesn’t bother them that we have ten cats around. A lot of work, weeding and feeding but it’s all a joy, For this older, northern, farm born .. Florida boy.
