Harvest Moon

I finally built a small raised garden this summer (complete with drip irrigation) and planted on the harvest moon (full moon on the autumnal equinox) for the first time. I was hesitant to do so b/c it was still pretty hot and humid. However, the garden has done really well. I think nearly every seed I planted has come up and the plants are thriving. The peas, cucumbers and melons have been particularly happy. I'd encourage everyone to try it next year....it's more than an old wives' tale.

If you haven't already, IT'S TIME TO PlANT!!!

The fun thing about living in Miami, is being able to plant when the rest of the country is digging their gardens under.
Heck, I'm still havesting! I don't have anything fancy just some nice cucumbers, peppers, basil and sage.
My friend Jason was showing me his new raised bed garden. And he already has 10-12 varieties planted. I planted over the weekend.
What are you planting and when?
