I cheat a little bit on the yard. Because here in Florida our soil mostly consists of sand, there isn’t much organic matter and therefore not as much microbial as I’d like. Which means it’s almost impossible to deliver enough nitrogen to St. Augustine grass using organic fertilizer. Believe me I’ve tried. So I use Sta-Green with iron. But I still don’t use any pesticides or herbicides on it.</p>http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49703987947http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49703987947Sun, 05 May 2013 14:21:55 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ea7cbf13eece96c5454c37327c0d2657/tumblr_mmarh40pzk1rt40mxo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>A stylized version of my earlier photo of a magnolia blossom from our tree.

Lots of squash blossoms, a few tomatoes, and a few of the seeds we planted have germinated. I just did a little pruning to remove some lower branches and for structure.</p>http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49622780301http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49622780301Sat, 04 May 2013 17:11:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/37f16ce5ff79d98e01cd433cbfd36227/tumblr_mlzg05KyAI1rt40mxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f33ce84bdc981b150338865765e966da/tumblr_mlzg05KyAI1rt40mxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Here’s our butterfly/bird garden. Still needs some work but it’s cleaned up and ready for some more planting. Below that is our mutant bougainvillea. Part of it has fuchsia flowers, part of it has peachy-orange flowers. We had a really cold winter a few years ago and it was almost destroyed. But it grew a new trunk and then the old trunk started back again and somehow they have different colored flowers. Crazy thing.</p>http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49120493936http://organicgardengeek.tumblr.com/post/49120493936Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:38:29 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f3f00822d8ecfd2376458669bd822400/tumblr_mlzfu42XTH1rt40mxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/211965ef539f441f4da036e0718f2322/tumblr_mlzfu42XTH1rt40mxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Here’s one of our two raised beds.
