Belated Friday Farm Day

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the tour of the garden needed to be postponed. Besides, it was raining yesterday morning, I sure wasn't going to go out to take pics!

Good Morning Afternoon/Evening All!

We are gathered here today to take a walk through our gardens and see what nature with a little help from me has brought forth.

As a reminder I grow, organically, in Zone 9b Central Florida. I learned everything I know from Youtube and blogs.

Starting in the front yard, the pentas are looking lovely as ever

The plumbago is still blooming!

Let's move into the backyard, where I'm going to give you a series of sunflower photos. :)

As you can see, my Heartbreaker cherry tomatoes are flushing out nicely!

The blackberries are still coming in...I gave that one to Nick after I took the pic

As well as blooming...

I picked ALL the ripe blueberries and ate them after I took this pic

My Clitoria is bushing out again! No flowers, yet, but I'm hoping this year!

And, finally, my loofah is popping up. Yes, friends, I do mean the loofahs you can buy in the store for sponges. Once they get to maturity and dry out, you can turn them into sponges by peeling back the dried out skin and getting rid of the seeds. There are fibers inside that grow thick as they age.

You can also eat the loofah when it's immature as a squash substitute. Reminiscent of zucchini but holds up better to cooking.

Thank you for joining me on this tour of our gardens!

Happy Saturday!

    Love the color of the plumbago and sunflowers! Stunning!

    You do have quite the variety of fruit for your morning smoothies.

      Thanks Joy, I had an educated idea you would:) I’m going to plant more varieties this week and see what other colors I have. (I bought a “sunflower package” that had ten varieties!

Notes from Motion to Dismiss Hearing

 I attended the Motion to Dismiss hearing through Zoom.  These are my notes, as recording the hearing in any other manner is against the law.  They’re not perfect, I was writing on my phone.  Started by watching a case with Google.  I like the judge. She seems personable and fair from what I’m hearing.  All lawyers from Google and the other party are nodding along as she rules and asks for argument.  The case is boring and I’m not paying close attention. However, I did hear this:  Judge Freeman: “You’ve hit a brick wall in every other court you’ve been in. Why do you think it will be different with me?” 😂😂😜 She’s funny.  It’s time for what I’m here for Buckheit’s lawyer struggled with Zoom. 😂 He has a backdrop of a bridge.  Conru’s lawyer is appearing with his office as his background.  Buckheit’s lawyer called it a High-Risk company.  “Tardy tender of $1000”    Judge Freeman 😂 She is literally saying she doesn’t read the case the same as Russo, who is Buckheit's lawyer. “You

You are incredible people and deserve more than just my gratitude.

If you want to know more, I suggest you read the previous entries. :) All you have to do is click on the Wegovy link at the bottom of this post.  For those who are thinking, what happens when you go off this medication?
