Friday Farm Day

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening All!

This week will be short, I have a doctor appointment later today and a meeting with the leader of a non profit vet service for animals.

As a reminder, I grow organically in Zone 9b, in Central Florida year round. No pesticides or herbicides, and only organic fertilizer.

Starting in the front yard, the Barbados lilies have bloomed again

The mulberries are still coming in by the bucket full.

Seriously, if you love berries and live above Zone 4, consider getting yourself a Mulberry Bush/Tree.

The Crinum lilies are blooming all over the yard.



Moving to the backyard, the sunflowers are starting to bloom!

The second round of cucumbers I planted are coming up. Someone remind me to plant luffa soon, please. ;)

The dinosaur kale is getting big. I have this planted in a few places since I now eat so much of it.

And, finally, the blueberries are ripening.

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

Happy Friday Farm Day

PS: For those who are following my back journey, today is the day for the temporary nerve branch block shots of L5, S1, S2, and S3. If this stops my pain, we move forward with radio frequency ablation of my nerves probably next month.

    Drooling here over your Sunflowers, as they are my favourite. Fingers crossed that your nerve branch shots on your lower lumbar, block all pain..xoxo

      Prepare to drool more, by next week there will be even more sunflowers in bloom.

      Thanks, so far it looks like it's working.

    I'm just checking to see whether the cucumber has grown since I last saw it!
    I hope the doctor's appointment went well.

    Love your sunflowers!

    Since the flowers are done, I have to keep an eye on my wisteria so the vines won't get out of control. It's big enough as it is. It was quite pretty this year, tho.

      Thanks, me too.

      I bet that wisteria is a beast to keep under control.

    I think my area is getting close to being zone 5. Last winter for example was super mild. But the problem is the occasional freak stretch of bitter weather that would kill off those zone 5 perennials and shrubs. Well, also my yard is so tiny I would have trouble finding a spot for a mulberry bush haha!

      I mean, you can keep it super trimmed so it doesn't get like mine and still get lots of mulberries. ;) But, I get it, I'd hate to put a bunch of work into something and have it die because Mother Nature decided to be weird.

Wegovy Wednesday Week 5

Image
I am taking Wegovy (Ozempic) for weight loss as an obese person with heart disease. My insurance covers it under those conditions, your insurance may vary. As reminders: I grow most of my own produce organically in nutrient dense soil. Maintaining this has made changing my lifestyle simpler and cheaper. I live in a two person household. My partner, Nick, is not dieting. I cook for both of us. He, mainly, eats what I eat with extra stuff like bread and pasta except more. IE: I defrost one pound of ground turkey to make tacos. 3/4 of that will go to Nick. 1/4 will go to me where I will add lentils and quinoa as well as more taco seasoning, then eat it in taco salad for days. Due to an unhealthy relationship with dieting and food throughout my life, I'm only weighing in at the Doctor's when I see her once a month and not counting calories. My interest lies in getting healthy, no number on a scale can define health. That said, I am curious. I'd be lying if...

AFF Censors at it again

Image
It's only 1030 in the morning here in Orlando, and the moderators have been at it again. They took down three of my replies to other members.  One, I was merely attempting to help someone do a DMCA takedown because another member stole someone's photos and the site refuses to take them down.  It is utterly ridiculous that they allow stolen images all over the site, but they don't allow the actual owners of said pictures to take them down. That was two of the denials. The final denial was to hippie, where I just said something about mine being definitely lust-tinted glasses, not love-tinted ones.  ETA: I also tried to put up a blog post, they took that down too. Pretty sure I am being targeted now.  Fucking idiots
