Yummy Surprise!!

I have not posted an entry in a while as I have been busy moving from my apartment to my own home. Wow was that an adventure!! It took a lot out of me and I ended up sick for over a month.

In that time I have not had time to tend my plot at the Arlington Community Garden either. I received an email asking me if I was giving up my plot or if I still wanted it. Well, I let them know I wanted it and that I would be over this weekend.

I expected to find nothing but weeds and anything I had planted to be a complete loss. What I found was a yummy surprise!

Hiding in the ground I found 24 sweet potatoes!! Several of them as large as a small melon. I cannot wait to cook them.

This week I will be adding compost to my plot and planting: broccoli, cabbage, carrots, collards, kohlrabi, bulbing onions, radishes and spinach! This will be my first "winter" planting, so I am excited to see what I get over the next few months.

If you haven't started gardening and you live in Florida all I can say is WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Take Care,
