Gardening and Cooking Workshop

 A look at our first hands-on workshop where we learned how to grow, harvest and prepare healthy meals directly from our yard. To get invited to the next event and for gardening and healthy cooking tips join our list here:  https://rb.gy/xd9x1q  

Florida Fall Garden

October in Florida means I can harvest the sweet potatoes I use as cover crops and nitrogen fixers and plant what the rest of the country grows in the summer.

Seminole Pumpkins

I finally figured out that growing native pumpkins was the way to go in South Florida and now I have pumpkins for a long time.  These pumpkins keep for a year once you pick them and are so easy to grow. 

Lesson Learned

Watch what happened to the regular squash I tried to grow compared to the Seminole Pumpkin. 

Growing your food is like printing your own money

Multiplying store bought turmeric

An organic pack of store bought turmeric costs about 10 dollars. See how I grabbed a small piece of turmeric and made 15 dollars worth of turmeric by just sticking it in the ground and adding water. 

Growing Pigeon Peas

 How I ended up fixing my garden bed and getting a reliable and delicious veg in Florida 

Unboxing buckets of potatoes

Not every project works out but you can get a good laugh.
