South Florida Sunshine Tropicals

Hey Sunshine seekers!
I will not be live, I did a real, off the inter-webs thing tonight. I just got home from being with local plant people, gardeners, fruit growers, and fruit lovers. It was great.

Soon I will have my own official name tag as I joined my local Rare Fruit Council International. We learned about pruning trees while keeping their physiology in mind. It was very interesting but also a sore spot.

This past weekend our neighbor had unskilled labor cut a very large limb from an HOA tree that got absorbed into our yard. He cut a 20ft branch in one shot and took out a panel of our fence.
Thankful our company we originally hired put all our posts and panels in right, so only one panel cracked and came down.

See you all (maybe) for a live garden pop up soon. 🙏🏻

Currently, I am listening to thunder and praying for rain. Tonight I was going to do an about me live since I had a birthday yesterday. Sadly, I woke up with a pulled muscle in my neck and the pain is horrible. I have lidocaine patches too that are barely touching it.
Perhaps Sunday night I will be better for a pop up since Barry switched his time. So very sorry to my members. I want to plan for a give away soon just for you all.
Been a rough month and appreciate the gardening, homesteading, artsy and extended YT communities for your support.

Much love, in ☀️& 💧,

Well, I wanted to do a live today, but this weird weather is trying to normalize and give some tropical weather. I try not to be outside when lightening is around. Not uncommon for people to get hit by lightening in Florida. It’s 90ish right now too, so YUCK.

I was hoping to do this live tonight. But I am forwarding it to either tomorrow or next Friday night. I just cannot get set up behind the scenes tonight like I was hoping too.

I love spending time with you all but want to make it worth your time, so let me know, on nights like tonight, should I skip the subject and just have a harvesters hang out, with show and tells, and a free for all for channels to come up and introduce themselves and hang out? Even non-gardening channels like artists that do botanical works. I met a local Cuban American artist and his work is amazing would love to show you some of it.

See you all soon, hoping to get out in the heat a bit tomorrow, but we also may get rain.

Finally, so tired of those who think those of us who suffer with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue have something that is “just in our head” or it’s not that bad because it’s not… and we should just push through it!

Sorry friends no live, and if I have been absent, it’s been for a fun, exhausting, emotional and now back to fun week!
Hilary Duff with my girl last weekend, then our Pastor’s Wife needed an errand on that Monday following the concert and we ended up staying out running errands.

Tuesday & Wednesday house chores, with Wednesday being hard as I started getting really nervous about dropping off our pup early Thursday morning for surgery. Thursday Daisy Grace was getting spade, half day for Hannah, nap for us all when she got home for an hour. Then watching over Malachi & today Daisy. She has been doing great in recovery and is such a good patient. Although she is totally using my heart strings and doing multiple sits for treats.

Tomorrow is Florida Mango Fest #2 for me! We shall see if I end up just going in and not helping in some way. So many years as a teacher and Bridal consultant and other customer service and just service positions I have a hard time not stepping in if I see my fellow Floridians need help.

Let me know my Florida folks if you are coming and we can meet up there and take a selfie together!

Well, I was hoping to do a pop up live earlier to show y’all my full rain barrel. In fact if I had time to set it up (and the finances) I believe our summer rains deserve an over flow barrel or two.
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your over flow of knowledge, stories, and your lives with me. My heart is full and grateful for you all. Sadly, my body, is exhausted this week. And I will not be staying up late tonight. I am already starting to nod off.
Please forgive me, I believe I will be back soon, ordered a monitor for blood sugar to see if that is part of the exhaustion.
Worst time to have issues with blood sugar happening as it’s mango & tropical fruit season here. :/

See you all soon,

❤️ya in☀️&💧,

Carole

🌴No Live tonight I have no fan in my Live room and our A/C broke today. 😢

🌺Other than that bummer, I am still So happy with my plants and trees after my visit out to ​⁠and chit chat with the nursery owner of ‪@CARIBEXOTICS‬. 🥭

🪴He is also someone I would call one of my local plant friends. Afterwards we headed out toward a local fruit stand, (I actually had to follow him as I woke up in a wanna be migraine and my brain is not braining), before we said our see ya laters I tried to look at some more plants there from local growers, sadly M my son was not having it. 👶🏾

🙏🏻But our timing was a God thing as the house was still cool and I began turning on all the fans, bathing M and ordering a fan for my daughter’s room from Instacart. 🙏🏻

❤️Good Night, my YT friends, and friends who are also Members, I look forward to catching up with you all soon. 👩🏼‍🌾😴💤

Our next live is about something that has quietly been in the back of my mind for a while… and after finally looking deeper into it, I realized this may be affecting far more organic gardeners than we think. 🌿

Many of us are trying to build ecologically balanced backyards filled with pollinators, healthy soil, birds, beneficial insects, and thriving plants. But what if outside environmental factors are influencing our gardens more than we realize?

Join me as we discuss:

“Is Your Backyard Naturally Balanced… or Chemically Assisted?”

Bring your observations, concerns, and experiences from your own area. I’d also love for viewers from different states and counties to share what they’ve noticed in their local environment.

This should be a thoughtful and eye-opening discussion. 🌱
