I don't know how "lucky" we are to be able to garden 24/7 here -- lol! Only kidding!! It is a big perk for Florida -- although the summer gets too hot to do much outside. Gardening early AM and late PM -- the skeeters, no-seeums, chiggers and other vermin make spraying yourself with heavy applications of DEET a necessary part of life.

Lately I have been working so hard in the garden I don't have the energy to go work out in the gym! Well, at 67, I guess that is not too bad, considering the work I do.

Here is pix of a garden I installed [with my own two hands including schlepping the blocks]. This garden was installed this year next to our new deck addition. The slope allowed me to tier the beds.

DH usually helps me with this stuff, but he was busy remodeling the master bath. Knocked his socks off when he saw what I did. LOL
