Sponge and tons of seeds
I finally got the hang of it with my Luffa gourd, after initially producing 1 Luffa Gourd I started researching why my plant only produced 1 Luffa Gourd when it had tons of yellow flowers. Well, I found out that the plant was full of male flowers and I need female flowers to bear fruit, […]
Well, this is how the butternut squash plant is looking right about now and it has plenty of squashes. Today I decided to pick one, maybe a little early but I couldn’t resist and it came in at 7 lbs. 7.9 ounces, I can’t imagine how big it would of been if I left it […]
O’my, what 2 buckets of seashells from going to the beach on the weekends and a gallon of $9 “oops” granite texture paint for concrete from my local home improvement store inspire me to do.

There are Red Fountain Grasses, Canna’s, […]
It’s been a while since I have posted and I’ve been a little busy bee. I been gardening a bit I removed 25 plants that were in the front garden beds that I thought would not be a good idea to leave there since some would grow about 25 ft. tall. I relocated some to […]
