One year I mixed in 6 year old cow manure (it was all dried out by then and didn't smell.)HistorySleuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502098938801373264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-56410167999768466762012-03-02T11:12:47.741-08:002012-03-02T11:12:47.741-08:00HAHAHAHA Is that a fun story at the end or what? N...HAHAHAHA Is that a fun story at the end or what? Nature has a sense of humour. I have no idea what I might have to change to combat humidity in gardening. One idea might be to plant early harvest things.<br /><br />I would think melon, tomatoes and gourds might survive serious heat summers.<br /><br />I really want to compost but that has yet to happen. I tried to get a worm farm growing but I was all off balance...they tried to wiggle away it was too wet among other issues.<br /><br />My daughter and I set up a mini garden at my friends house with her two kids about the same age as her at the time. They were very excited to get their hands dirty doing something. They had a little dog who we tried to thwart with fencing.<br /><br />Can't recall if they got a harvest or not.ToscaSachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121426970881077763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-52885855691383997452012-03-02T00:33:31.008-08:002012-03-02T00:33:31.008-08:00I tried so hard to garden last year with my kids. ...I tried so hard to garden last year with my kids. We still had the most wonderful experience planting and tending it for months before the heat and humidity killed everything off. After 4 months of neglecting the garden and our compost pile, we found 3 gorgeous, perfect cantaloupe in the compost pile from compost seeds that took root. That was ridiculous. :)crittersandcrayonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660082673150620935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-76490620449790919702012-02-29T11:15:36.911-08:002012-02-29T11:15:36.911-08:00Oooh are there pictures on your blog?

I would definitely try a container or raised bed garden if I knew the soil would fight me.<br /><br />My mother being from the Bahamas I visited FL many times as a child. My aunts yard there seemed to consist of sand, gravel and crab grass. <br /><br />Now they both live in GA and my mom has a house with a more normal yard.ToscaSachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121426970881077763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832970822463066044.post-30328302058568989182012-02-28T19:25:19.125-08:002012-02-28T19:25:19.125-08:00I have a gorgeous garden, but I fail miserably whe...I have a gorgeous garden, but I fail miserably when it comes to produce. Think it may be the sandy soil here in north Florida. You really have to work at it to get anything that isn't native to grow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683275378918511356noreply@blogger.com
