.....now that we're down here in St. Petersburg, FL, one of the first things I did was to start my Florida garden. Within two months, we'll have tomatoes (Patio and Better Boy), Armenian cucumbers, basil and lettuce.
I get a lot of comments about my "garden" as people walk by but it will be nothing compared to the comments I expect to get once my lettuce starts growing. I'm a big fan of pinterest and if you've never seen it, by all means, look it up. It's a place where you can see links from other people for all kinds of interests, e.g., home decor, cooking, gardening, crafts, travel, art, etc., etc., etc. I get many of my ideas from pinterest and I saw one where the person took a big, round, metal, galvanized tub and planted two different types of lettuces in a big spiral. I used red and green leaf lettuce for mine and I didn't want the weight of a big galvanized tub so I just bought a plastic pot saucer at Home Depot. I wasn't sure how to plant the spiral, so I made myself some guides with aluminum foil. I can hardly wait to see how it comes out!
Other than my garden and getting reacquainted with all our old friends, and some new ones, we're just settling in slowly.
