It is the season to pick up dried and spent marigolds from the plants and spread seeds wherever possible. More flowers never hurt.

I found a gumbo limbo plant. I wonder which bird brought these seeds. There are no squirrels around. Yet.

My first Cosmo!!!!!!

Jasmine and Curry Patta have taken over the bench. The only reason I don't want to move it is that it looks cute.

They are doing so well because they share the soil with sunshine mimosa, which is a nitrogen fixer.

Now I am even more inspired to grow for my friends. This is my love language.

Tungho, bokchoy, parsley, garlic chive, basil, and oregano reached in good condition to Arlington. :) My friend sent me a pic of the greens. :)

A single peanut ended up in potting soil or mushroom compost. Now, I have a peanut plant growing in a container. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Not bad. It took one month from seed to harvest. I am sending these to Arlington tomorrow morning for my friend, along with some bokchoy, parsley, and basil. Next season, I will grow them in a bigger quantity so that there is enough for all of us.

Edited: Added a photo of the seeds packet.

If you are in a cold place, you have much time to start this and harvest. For us in South Florida, time is almost over because of the heat.

I mixed soil from a lot of old grow bags and containers for this bed. I'm not surprised that some new basil babies are here. I will see which one it is. Will separate them in a few days and let them grow. I had three varieties of basil last season.

The Moringa tree is growing faster than the mulberry tree. This one was not a risk. I was confident about cutting down the tree. I had to do it for two reasons. First, it was difficult for me to harvest all the fruits and leaves because the tree was 10-20 feet tall. Second, it was attracting iguanas, especially the young ones. And I hate them! They don't contribute anything. They are so destructive.

The baldie mulberry tree has new growth. I knew I was taking a calculated risk when cutting the tree down to the bark. But then, that's what makes working with plants and soil so exciting. Not a single day without something new and exciting to see or learn.
