Thursday I procured 3 bags of mulch (thanks for the kind offer from Robbins Garden!) and bought 10 bags of soil and, on Friday morning... Jessica, Joe, and I were delighted to be back in the garden! We missed Robin, but her sister is visiting... 💜

From weeding... to adding soil to both berms and the raised bed... to planting what I purchased from Tree Amigos Growers last week:
Red Giant mustard greens, Yukina savoy, Red Russian kale, Benefine frisee/endive, Astro arugula, Tropical Tarragon Mexican mint, Sissoo spinach, Tokyo Long white onion, Recao culantro, Thai basil, Azur Star kohlrabi, and one each of Edible Hibiscus and Cranberry Hibiscus (both more bush-like)... to laying down cardboard and covering with mulch (another 3 bags should finish the job)... we accomplished much. Exhausted but happy...

A reminder that we choose lots of greens and herbs because they grow and harvest quickly for our purposes of food pantry donations... 🤗

Also, we are preparing for the upcoming La Zoola Pop-Up Market on Sunday, October 25 (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), 4040 SW 76th Ave, Davie Fl 33328... where the Hope Garden will be selling 2 different types (Tender Heart and Hopeful Heart: $3 each/2 for $5) of tea blends, powdered Moringa, cuttings of Lippia, Aloe, Cuban Oregano, Katuk, and Sissoo Spinach ($5 each).

It's Fall, Ya'll... 🤷‍♀️

Hope Peeps, thanks for your patience with us. Long time, no yak! Impossible to believe the kiddos went back to school a few weeks ago... 🤪

Considering that we were still experiencing Heat Advisories (almost daily), Summer is still very much at play. Looking forward to things cooling off, opening the way for Fall Planting. We will keep you posted. Missing you all... 💗💜💖

We have not forgotten about you, Dear People! It's Feast or Famine time here in the Hope Garden. Either we're ridiculously busy... or we're taking much-needed breaks for one reason or another... 🤗

Mostly our weekly routine is Same Old/Same Old: growing, harvesting, and donating to the Riverland Community Pantry. It's good. It's all good.

Recently, I am out of town three weeks in a row (sister visit in Atlanta/festival in Tallahassee/wedding on Siesta Key)... plus our greens always dwindle toward the end of Spring/beginning of Summer (at which point we plant cover crops to revitalize the soil in anticipation of Fall). Mother Nature is a finely-oiled machinery, in the most organic sense of the word.

Will do my best to keep everyone posted. Come visit us one of these Fridays (beginning again on May 8... 🌱🪴🌿)
