Our first frost was on Halloween so we decided to cover the trellis and raised beds. It seemed to stop the frost damage. We did take these loofah inside but they are too green

The clear tarps seemed to work so we are keeping them on until all the tomatoes are done then we will clear out the beds 🌱

Loofah and tomatoes we harvested before the frost.

Night time loofah

Thank you so much. I'm sorry I missed the notification earlier, but I appreciate your condolences. I had an overall good time with family.

Even knocked out two bucketlist things on the one day we got away. Seeing the bioluminescence bay and the milkyway with next to no light pollution.

Do not waste money on weed guard! Weeds just grow in it, doesn't help the soil improve.

Just heavy mulch

Yesterday we got to knock two things off our bucket list. Mosquito Bay is the brightest bio luminescence bay in the world. It was also a dark zone and we saw the milky way exactly the way I always dreamed. We also went to the beach and had an amazing day in Vieques 🇵🇷

My Aunts house has a Pana tree, this Pana(breadfruit) was bigger than my head
It's so delicious too! I wish these grew in Georgia but it's too cold.
