Yesterday I promised I’d share pictures of Wendy’s beautiful St. Petersburg garden.
When she wrote to ask about sources for free, safe, mulch, she also sent me a bunch of garden pictures and then graciously agreed to let me share them with you all.
Check out these beautiful beds:
Lots of mulch gives you nice soil. Keeping the ground covered, particularly in Florida, is very important for preserving fertility.

Here’s the final photo she sent me. Pink flip-flops and great big brassicas:
Thanks for the gardening inspiration, Wendy.
I’m working on setting up gardening forums here so everyone can start sharing their photos and stories.
Stay tuned.

Nice looking gardens!
Ditto on the forums. One request however, don’t have a off topic category! If I want to read jokes, I’d find a joke forum. :)
