Yesterday I promised I’d share pictures of Wendy’s beautiful St. Petersburg garden.

When she wrote to ask about sources for free, safe, mulch, she also sent me a bunch of garden pictures and then graciously agreed to let me share them with you all.

Check out these beautiful beds:

Lots of mulch gives you nice soil. Keeping the ground covered, particularly in Florida, is very important for preserving fertility.

March / April – compost bed becomes massive volunteer squash bed (8’ x 4’)

Here’s the final photo she sent me. Pink flip-flops and great big brassicas:

Thanks for the gardening inspiration, Wendy.

I’m working on setting up gardening forums here so everyone can start sharing their photos and stories.

Stay tuned.
