Looks good ! Maybe we won't get the lows we had last year for the winter. If we don't we should be able to keep nice gardens going until spring. Egg plants are really loving this weather as are my peppers.

i hope we dont get bad freezes yet i need my little babies to get a little bit stronger! question for you. do you have very standy soil too?

 

[Crabbergirl]

My "soil" is alll sand. I have worked for years on ammending it with my home-made compost as well as grass clippings and here recently I have been able to get mushroom compost for about $30 a yard. That really did the trick. I also hunt the paper for free manure , I just got a pick up loard of goat. I also nab bags of leaf anf grass litter from beside the road on yard waste days. You might check with you waste company or local landfill, here they give free "mulch" or "compost" which is chipped yard waste. It offers very little in fertilizer but a lot in soil building. I try to keep my beds mulched with grass and leaves and it has made a huge diff in the gardens. I have been garding in Fl for over 30 years. When I was in the keys I had all raised beds on top of limestone. Talk about a hard way to grow! The sand is a good thing when we are having a lot of rain , but it can be a curse when we are hot and dry.
