Transplanted fig tree into a pot. It did ok in the ground, however, I believe that it will thrive in the pot. I am hoping for more figs next year. I don't see how any tree seedling can survive in sandy soil in Florida heat. |

Found purslane and shooting star at Lowes in Clermont for cheap. Basically 3 1.5 gallon hanging planters of purslane and 2 4 inch pots of shooting star for 13 bucks. Planted those in the front beds. Purslane in direct sun with the lantana and the shooting star under the gardenia, palms, and mexican petunia. |

The Florida summer rains have begun this week and is bring daily moisture to the containers and beds. The sweet potatoes, okra and peanuts are loving it. I already have okra setting flowers and fruiting. |

Found white flies and larva on my Winterbor Kale and sprayed seven to control. I am not surprised since the kale has survived this long into the heat. I am not going to eat anymore of it. I am only trying to get it too seed. |

I am currently interested in container veggie gardening, fruit trees, creating a tea & herb garden, and maintaining my daughters flower cutting garden. Everything else is just an experiment.
