The rains finally let up long enough for me to get back to gardening and filming videos.
On Thursday I posted an update on my vanilla orchids:
Then today, my progress on the little garden beds:
That set of beds is really a mess. I need to clear the rest and I think I’m going to cut the perennial cucumber vines way back and let them regrow. They’re insane.
I have to be careful in those beds, though, as I have multiple good edibles in there which are also perennials. I probably should have stuck to just annuals in those beds; however, it’s one of the few sunny spots where I can get things going and keep an eye on them.
It feels good to be outside and working again. The rain has truly been ridiculous, plus I’ve had a lot of work indoors that has kept me from gardening as much as I should.
Anything going on in your gardens right now? Get some fall crops in yet?
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

I’ve planted onion sets, lettus, beets and cabbage so far. The lettus and cabbage is old seed so may be wasting time… But if they don’t show in a few more days I’ll get new seed. The beets have sprouted and onion sets should do good. I harvested about 90 onions (3″ers) last June. And harvested 35# of sweet potatoes a couple weeks ago. The Seminole pumpkins were 13 harvested from volunteer vines and and tan cheese pumpkins, 5 off 1 lonely vine that survived the puppy… I got about 5 pint baggies of figs, 15 pint baggies of strawberry guava, about 35 persimmons… My big persimmon took the season off, hoping she puts out a better showing next. The peach tree I bought from you did well… But I pulled most of the fruit to push growth. There was also a few cucumbers and enough yard long beans to have a few servings…
