Lots of gardening to be seen here friends as i grow year round......;)
Let me get a few pics of what i do in the yard,let me also say it is hard!
Hard work in the very hot and humid climate makes it very very hard....
The deep south where i am from,has the opposite time to grow,winter!
Well our winters are not really a cold type,or very long but i do ok id say,
you will see many types of vegitables and trees that will grow great here.
Tropical fruits are doing good the last few years,as the climates getting,
much hotter in the last 20 years.......unbelievably HOT and HUMID summers.
Thats usually my rest time,just keeping things watered is a must in beach sand.
Their is no real soils here,i do most my growing in small pots for vegtables.....
or you will just see the soils being lost in the heavy sand,insects are very bad!
Probably the worst state for them,and they do lots of harm to plants and ME...
1 of the worst insects that never gets talked about,is the "No See'em" fly.....
These tiny microscopic flies bite very bad and cause big welts all over ME,
i am what they call here,"the unlucky type" that those insects bother mostly!
i litterally have thousands of scares all over my body from those dang pests.
Florida,is a hellish jungle thats very hard to live in,never mind working in this?
So,with all i go threw gardening here,i can still be happy about my harvests!!!
:)

However,even if a tree looks this healthy here 1 year,you could see it die........
Here besides all the insects we have the viruses and molds that harm plants.
That was a tree i lost to the mealy bugs,and molds,after having it 3 years???
Kept the seeds and made free trees this time!
Tropical Beauty Peach Trees are very sweet,very juicy and taste the very best!!
Since we now have the BOX FLY from Asia that has devistated the citrus crops.
Now that new strains of peaches have been developed,i went with these fruits!
She did fruit 3 years,cost about 40 bucks for the tree,so hurt i was to lose that.
They do grow here,and now i have several trees going and a different type!
Florida King,she put out good fruits this spring,and at the last few days fruits,
rotted from black rot...gotta spray the fruits next time with a fungus killer..
Other stuff that realy is easy like Pineapples do very good here,my poolside!
Extra sweet and very low acid fruits,they are like a cacti very good here....;)



if you can leave them on the plant until they are yellow they are very sweet!!!!
