Attention butterfly 🦋 gardeners. Keep milkweed sap very far from your eyes and wash your hands. Today's trip to urgent care is sponsored by milkweed sap. This weepy eye will need steroid drops and a visit to the eye Dr!!#milkweedsap#butterflygarden #

Harvest from the yard. Mangos, guavas, avocados, and Barbados cherries 🍒!! If you never had a really ripe Barbados cherry, it's like a citrus flavored cherry very juicy with 2 to 3 pits! Delicious 😋. #growingfruit #tropicalfruit #gardeninginfl #tropicals #tropicalsuperfruit #growyourown #humidgardener

One of the biggest Barbie Pink guavas we ever harvested from our tree!! No stinking hits from the Caribbean fruit bastard fly either! We think this may be directly related to neem oil treatments we do monthly. This baby smells so delicious! As soon as we come in the house it can be smelled from all the way in the kitchen. #barbiepinkguava #gardeningfl #tropicalfruit #tropicalfruittrees #neemoil #growingfruit

Back with a Spring Tour

Pineapple!

I know we have been quiet for a while. We try to post on Instagram and Facebook but have been very lax with posting videos. In fact, although it is July, I am just now posting our April tour. I figure some of you might be interested. I will endeavor to post more frequently.

Thanks for your patience!

DIY Self-watering Planter

We read a lot and watched many videos and have adapted these methods to create earthbox-like self-watering planters. If you want to see how we do it, check out the video below.

It's spring in the garden...

And that means - time for a new tour! It is amazing how things have grown! The mangos, pineapples and bananas are fruiting, The tomatoes just keep coming.We walked around the the garden to give you an update on how it all is progressing. Please join us!
