Backward Seasons

This sad little blog reflects my sad little garden.
OK, It's not as sad as it is backwards. Miami's growing seasons can be all year around. My pineapples are certainly growing fine and they're happy it seems. Mangos, avocados, peppers and okra are all summer season.
But our fall is your spring.  August and September are the months to clean up the beds and get ready. It's way too rainy with regularly passing tropical storm systems.
Late September and October is time to plant. We still have to pray the seeds don't wash away in a down pour, but they usually hold on pretty well. And in the winter, we have all kinds of beautiful vegetation while the rest of the country is in winter gridlock.
It's getting cooler though. I'm more inclined to get this mess under control. You'll see and read more updates.
