Herb Garden

We have said there is no Florida summer growing season, but for a few shadehouse growers. This is mostly true; we even get weekends off from marketing. But there is one type of growing still going on - our herb garden! Behind the restaurant used to be only parking lot; hot, dead and sterile. We fenced in around our back door and filled it with pots in which we have been growing herbs. Not only have we not had to purchase basil once (!), but there is a small oasis of life back there now. We have seen a variety of lizards, insects and, of course, weeds. There is a breath there now, instead of just heat rolling off the ground. It is a treat to get out there and get a little sun on our faces. Where there is water, there is life. We will keep growing, keep conserving water, keep cherishing life. Where can you grow a little something?!
