This is my 4th year of gardening in sandy soil. I bought and still buy soil from the big box store and amend with worm castings, blood meal, coconut coir to start. Every year my garden is more and more productive as I continue to learn. I grow in 5 gallon containers and in ground. My HAPPY PLACE!
Before anybody quits gardening, listen to her advice, or you could always try chaos gardening. Chaos gardening is where you throw seeds everywhere to see where seeds will grow. Remember never give up on gardening.
Thank you!
I love your tomato trellis hook thingamabobs 😮. Where do I find those? I use the tomahook ones but yours look like they would work so much better!
Sunlight is the last thing you want. Full sun is way too strong for garden plants in Florida.
