General update


This and that 
One of my clients had a tomato that wanted to propagate. I like this picture because it's a good reminder that composting is one way to plant your seeds. 


The general area where I currently live. Lots of an invasive known as Brazilian pepper. Brazilian pepper, as I understand it, was introduced to Florida as a landscaping plant. It was soon realized to be an invasive. It's a problem in this area because it has a tendency to grow vertically past most plants and then branch out and shade them. It's tricky to cut due to the many awkward angles. Some have an adverse reaction to the plant. In some it can produce a rash and lung issues. Better not to burn this one as the smoke can compromise a persons airway.

Found this guy while hanging shutters for Matthew. I scared him off rather than killing him since he didn't bite me. My clients son in law was content with that choice to his credit. I'm not a big fan of the mindset that says we should kill anything that can do us harm although I do recognize that there is a time and place for that. I prefer to be at peace with all animals whenever possible. 

A picture out the windshield of a car. I try to find the beauty in simple things. 

The front path. I don't care to use rocks much in gardening as they tend to be a lot of work to maintain. I prefer mulch and find it more beneficial

Word of wisdom for the day. 
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when it comes it's as a tree of life.
