Florida Harvest

Hi Everyone, Hope you are having a good Saturday! It is beautiful here in South Florida and I thought I'd show you a few things from my garden (above). The broccoli is still sprouting and every day I pick a few new sprouts. I have let some of it bloom and the bees are loving it.  The Arugula  and Pepper is from my Granny Garden, the elevated garden.

Helen brought me over these green beans, already broken up and ready to cook, from her garden. They are Kentucky white half runners, which, if you are from Kentucky, you know that they are considered to be the Premier bean in flavor as well as production. My Mother and Dad always planted plenty of them in their Kentucky garden and we ate them all summer just about every day! I am thrilled with Helen's gift, but not only did she bring beans, but strawberries from her garden, too.  I need to take some gardening lessons from her and her hubby, Mike, because they planted their garden way earlier than I did and they didn't have any trouble with what little cold weather we had damaging anything. I think in Florida the hardest things to damage gardens might be heat in summer and the need for water.
