Garden Inspiration

This Summer started out with grand plans for my garden. I planted seeds and dreamed of the delicious food I would harvest. Then we were hit with sweltering heat and drought here in South Florida, and despite my watering efforts, things began to shrivel up. I still have a few herbs that are doing alright, but for the most part I am looking ahead to planting for the Fall, which is a good time for the more heat-sensitive plants here. I’ve learned that Florida has different growing seasons for different things, as opposed to one season in the Spring and Summer like some of the more Northern states. It is definitely important to know your climate, and a wealth of gardening information can be found online for each state or region.

So as I do with many things lately, I looked to Pinterest for inspiration for my garden. There are some great ideas and lovely images that have me excited to get started again once things cool off a bit.

I am so excited for a new season and, as always, learning more as I go.

What are you dreaming of for your next growing season?
