I know I said it wasn’t as hot as a habanero, but after Rachel cut the camera it just kept getting hotter and hotter…
We’re still waiting on the rain to get our beds planted but it’s nice to see progress. Three days have made a difference and I’m glad we’re capturing the process for YouTube.
Today I’m off to do a composting demonstration at a local farm. Someone saw one of my presentations and was so impressed she wanted me to come out and teach her farm workers. That’s a good feeling – it will be nice to meet more people in agriculture. I have learned a lot from the locals and enjoy sharing what I know in return.
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

DtG, love the new video series! You mentioned planting as soon as you get rain. I have a few questions, if you will indulge me:
1) Are you going to plant seeds, or have you been growing transplants?
2) How hot is it there now? I’m in Broward County and the sun just remembered it needs to be in the 90s (after about two weeks of heavy rain). I’ve got a bed of bug-eaten bush beans that I want to re-use (peppers, okra, etc.), but is it too hot to plant seeds directly outside here?
Thanks again, and keep growing!
It’s hitting about 87 degrees during the day, but very dry. The ocean keeps it a little cooler.
I will plant seeds and transplants. We’ll probably start some transplants tomorrow to put in when the rain starts.
In Broward, you can still plant okra, sweet potatoes and yard-long beans right now and expect a decent harvest. Hot peppers would probably do fine as well.
gotta tell you…love watching the videos. I love even more watching the relationship that you and your family have. God bless you guys. You seem to really be enjoying yourselves. Praying you get some rain and a bountiful harvest.
Thank you. We have a wonderful time. Rachel is a blessing and so are the children.
