Garden Update

After a few false starts and our loss of Ella, I finally was able to construct the raised bed for our Florida garden.  It is made out of two levels of cinder blocks and two rows of 2x4's, thus, keeping it neat and tidy.

I transplanted some broccoli to see how that will take.  With temperatures starting to drop a bit, the broccoli should grow nicely.  The biggest concern are the little gnats that seem to be everywhere.  I call them "angle biters" as they constantly attack my ankles, making them itch quite a bit.

The "lettuce bar" is a reproduction of the one I built up in Delaware and I have already provided two meals of Bibb and Nevada salad meals. 

I planted broccoli and cilantro seeds at the far end of the salad bar, with the broccoli coming up within 5 days and the cilantro taking about 12 days.

The tomato plant below was a self planted tomato from Delaware that I brought along to see what might transpire.  There are a number of tomatoes popping up on a weekly basis.
