Yum! My yard isn't big enough for a veggie garden. We keep trying tomatoes and peppers but it's tough to keep the squirrels away from them.

chocoholic, have you tried container gardening? It's big in the city here.

TVC, I can't wait to hear your recipes when your babies grow up!

Casey, weeds are only wildflowers growing where you don't want them to grow!


My roses are already suffering from the heat - 102 today. My potted cactus on the front porch bloomed the other day and has tons more buds. The pot is also home to a family of geckos that come out at night. Last night they were 'talking' to each other. I couldn't get a good picture of them, but I'll keep trying. Most of my wildflowers are done though a couple are hanging on. Summer here isn't good for growing things, so everything will rest now until our 2nd spring, which comes right before fall!

I am so happy that we are finally getting some good rains here in Jax, FL. It is so wonderful to step into my back yard and see the green grass and the flowers thriving!
It was so bad a couple of weeks ago my daughter and I actually saw a lizard drinking from the dogs water bowl! No kidding!

We got the loudest thunderstorm of our life last night. It seemed to crack right over our house. Amazingly enough the baby slept through, but Hubby and I were stuck to the ceiling. I think I got a little heart attack from it...well it felt that way. It stayed almost half an hour, pouring buckets and cracking and blitzing.
There was only one thing we could do. Have wild sex? No ...raid the refrigerator. hee hee.
This morning our garden looks like everything grew over night. I just love that fresh dew in the morning, walking barefoot through the grass.

I do have a lot of containers but have never tried things like carrots in them. Can you do things besides tomato plants and herbs?

I have grape tomatoes coming up like crazy in my planters on my patio. They are as sweet as can be and there are hundreds of these tiny sweet tomatoes. I also have green peppers and some onions. I miss being able to have a big gasrden but with the sand and leechie here in the desert, planters are all I can handle.

My daylilies are performing wonderfully and we've finally rain! Tons of it!

Ladies, what types of edging do you use? Plastic, brick, metal, wood, etc.

Also, have you a raised garden bed, and if so, what material(s) do you use? i.e., stone, wood, faux stone or wood, etc.
