Hello, McRorie Gardeners!

Signs of Spring are all around at the garden! I saw this beautiful robin kicking up a dust storm yesterday. The garden is looking so good! I just planted the first few plants for the upcoming season:…

I dropped by the garden today and took a peek at the lovely plants. That's Shane in the photo above, one of our gardeners, with a turnip. The recent cold weather affected a few. In general, all is well. There are a huge abundance of beautiful, tasty plants in our garden. Click on the photo above to see the set. As for me, I wound up with some tasty mesclun for a salad Christmas eve. I wish…

Hi to all here at Zoobird! Those sprouts you see above are in my garden now. If you garden, how's your Fall garden doing?

Yes, it's that time of year in this brilliant place, Florida. You know what I mean. If you live anywhere that has citrus, you are fully aware of this phenomenon. It's called Spring. 

I can remember excitedly telling people that March is the best month to visit Florida. People in California, for example. Funny. People in Chile. Even more…

I took a chance and planted sprouts yesterday...

I'm on an iPhone now and will add detail to this post soon, but watch the video please. Kane introduced me to this Fukuoka method. Love it! Will blog about it in detail soon. Everything about it is captivating. There's a Yahoo mailing list mentioned in the credits I've been reading for about a year...…

I'm headed up to the garden today. Lots of weeds to pull. I've been away for a while and nature's taken its course.
