My Papayas Trees
Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about my gardening progress. We bought some new bell pepper plants. I also got three new tomato plants. The highlight of this little blog are my Papayas trees. We got them as 3 little saplings. They ended up growing rather big. In order to help the fertilization we planted the Papayas in a way that it forms a triangle. The one that ended up growing first was the male Papaya plant. The other ones then decided to become female. This ended up as the best scenario. This plants are starting to draw...
Ruminations on My Roses
I haven’t bothered to write any new blogs for a week. I have been like super busy writing my new book. I think it is going to be a fat type of book. I ordered some doll clothing I am waiting for. It will be here any minute. The summer has made a number on my plants. Almost all the tomato plants have gone the way of the dodo. The Papaya plant is growing nice and big. The sunflowers do not know where to stop. They keep getting taller and taller. I still have some squash plants. They have not...
My Lovely June Plants
The Summer has finally arrived to South Florida. I have gotten into the habit of doing a monthly report on the plants. A good portion have gone the way of the dodo. It is all a learning experience.

If the pumpkin crop turns out to be a failure, I will plant instead bell peppers. I have a lot of bell pepper seeds. I have...
Gardening Sister Flower Photos
I have been doing the gardening thing for quite a bit. I have a couple of photos in the storage bind. I then decided to share those photos with you. My flowers have progressed quite a bit. Most of them have gone to way of the dodo. I am down to one rose bush. It is pretty sad. The red rose bush died on me. This is why I ended up replacing the bush with two other flowers. The weather has been a bit wet. This is useful for my little saplings. The pumpkins are staring to grow like...
Welcome Home My New Rose
Mother recently got her tax refund. With a small portion of it, we decided to give the front garden a bit of an upgrade. Most of the plants were bug infested or just plain dead. It was time for a change. Anyhow, mom was making most of the decisions of the front garden. I usually mess around the vegetable patch. It is a bit of a chaotic mess, but it produces tomatoes so no one cares. While shopping around a bit, I saw the prettiest rose there ever was. I decided that the garden needed a new rose. One of...
