Today's basket of joy. πŸ’β€οΈ I like growing food, but as my gardening journey has evolved, I grow 30% flowers amongst the fruit and veg. I get higher yields, more pollinators and happiness year round. Here's a little color for your eyeballs. πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŒΎπŸŒ± #Gardening #CutFlowers #MyGarden #Gardener #FloridaGarden

Outside my window: My nemesis, the invasive #iguana. #Iguanas destroy our gardens, native plants, native species, microclimate ecosystem and spread salmonella. I plant blue pea everywhere so they eat the flowers, not my garden, but they're real fucking dicks. 🌱 #gardening #Florida #garden #pests #FL

In another time, knowing a celebrity or someone rich and connected in Miami was a flex. In this time, knowing the organic egg plug from the chicken farm in the Southwest Ranches is the most Kardashian thing you can be doing with your life. 🌱 πŸ₯š #Eggs #BuyLocal #Community #LocalFarmers #FloridaLife

This morning's #banana harvest. Did you know that when you harvest #bananas you have to knock down the whole tree? Yep. They are one timers. But they put out little baby trees, too. So it's a cycle. But also, a damn mission. Lol 🌱 #gardening #floridagarden #greenthumb #gardener #harvest #growfood

Making new friends in the garden. #SulphurButterflies are born and grow into adult #caterpillars in my candlestick #cassia. Then they travel over to my strawberries and form their #chrysalis. I do it all for the ecosystem. πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŒΎβ€οΈπŸŒ± #FloridaGarden #ButterflyGarden #Pollinators #MyGarden #SkyGardens #Hi

Today was a sad day as I discovered that purple/black carrots do not actually yield purple/black carrot cake. Alas, In the end, all carrot cake becomes carrot cake color. Luckily, it remains delicious. But now I have baskets of purple/black #carrots to process. Lol #gardening is fun. 🌱 #garden

Lemon pie, salted sourdough crust w/ #ClitoriaTernatea flowers (butterfly pea/ #BluePea) from the garden. Double blues, double lavender, light blue & single blue flowers we picked this morning. W/ popcorn as packing peanuts so the pie wouldn't shift around. 🌱 #FreshBaked #Gardening #EdibleFlowers

Garden views: Our front lawn - no grass just flowers, broccoli & Moringa trees we use for food, medicine and green manure. I can't stress enough that you can grow food on your lawn and you should. Grass is for fools. 🌱 #Gardeners #MyGarden #FloridaGarden #GrowFood #Gardening #GreenThumbs #πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŒΎ

Happy Valentine's Day πŸ’˜ Garden Views: this is our backyard garden. Onion beds covered in cattle panel to deter the garden cats and a papaya tree in each bed. We also have a wild growth of sungold tomatoes and about 40 banana trees back here. β™‘πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŒΎ 🌱 #MyGarden #Gardening #Gardener #GreenThumb #growfood

Ugh. I hate watering the garden. But, I πŸ’œ harvesting stuff, so I suck it up & fight mosquitoes in our gross Florida winter weather. (Hot/dry.). Today, I cut bok choy for dinner & these Valentine's Flowers for myself. 🌱 #Gardening #Garden #Gardener #MyGarden #Flowers #Harvest #FloridaGarden #Zone10B

I would like you to refer to me by my spiritual name: Broccky Balboa. Also, marry someone who is all in when you say, "Let's do a photoshoot of me and my broccoli." #Garden #Gardening #OrganicGarden #Gardener #MyGarden #Broccoli #πŸ₯¦ #GrowingFood #BrownJoy #GreenThumb #FloridaGarden #GardenTips #ItMe

Was saddened by the state of the world so I thought I'd watch a movie. #TheWildRobot just destroyed my marshmallow heart and now I'm absolutely sadder but fully invested in moving to the wilderness and living with animals. #Goals

It is tomato season in Florida Zone 10B and as my tomatoes come in, I'm reminded of seasons gone by... Did I plant too many and will I be flooded with relentless tomatoes again? Of course. I'm nothing if not consistent in my masochism. β™‘ #Tomatoes #Gardens #Gardening #Gardener #OrganicGarden

Hi! I pulled these carrots out of my garden today. Im calling them "The Lovers". If these 2 found each other, held on tight in the darkness and flourished...you can, too. Find your people in these uncertain times, cling to each other and thrive. 🌱 #Gardening #Garden101 #Community #Carrots #FindJoy
