- Asking a rhetorical question because I don't care what the answer is. This video is a brief introduction to me, my experience, and my gardening style. This explains the title of this page and why my garden looks the way it does
It should encourage you to keep giving it your best and not stress the small stuff.
I can tell you for sure that I appreciate “real“ gardens more than I appreciate pristine gardens. I think completely pristine Gardens are more for show than growing food. Gardening is messy, weeds are messy, dirt is messy. I try different methods continually, and my garden right now is a holy mess from all the materials I collect, reuse, recycle to keep my garden Growing healthy food and keeping costs down.. Thank you for being real with us. That’s how we learn.
Hear, hear! Have these people looked at undeveloped Florida lots? They are like a jungle - lush, thick yet bare in some places and not manicured. If that’s not what you like by all means but some of us enjoy more natural look with native plants that support insects and birds and what have you. That’s nothing to be embarrassed about (if anything, be praised)and there’s no need to shame those who don’t subscribe to more traditional manicured lawn and neatly planted ornamentals.
Having said all that, as someone from NE I do find that FL in general seems to have more plants than just lawns which I appreciate.
True, where I am the squash vine borers are relentless. The advice for others does not work for me. Eggs at the base? Nope, eggs all the way down the vine. I beat the drum of every garden is different. There are too many variables. I garden on a high wind drier prairie. Never seen a hornworm. My yard ecology is way different than most gardeners. Definitely different from Florida. What you advise definitely won't work for me just as you say eff off to other gardeners giving you advice. I get it. I have no advice for you. Why would I?
I will say my garden isn't perfect and nobody has given me any shit about it. It's unfortunate that happened to you. I guess I surround myself with other messy gardeners who make mistakes and are supportive and joyful anyway. I also have my comment screening set to "strict".
Your garden is beautiful.
We need your weight on the other side of the scale. It's incredibly refreshing to know that gardening (and really anything else) is worth doing and is beneficial in spite of it not being perfect🙌
P.S you're gorgeous, so stap with that 😋
