BEAUTIFUL GARDEN where are you and when did you plant?

Gorgous Felix! Well done. Looks like you'll have quite a bit of healthy, fresh eating for a good time to come!

Elizabeth

Felix, your veggies look fantastic!! Good for you. :o)

Hi Felix

WOW! Your garden looks so good! And I am sure that the family is eating healthy too, you have a good variety of veggies.

We had last night roasted purple cauliflower salad, notice how it did not change the color like other veggies when they are purple they turn to green. And there are 2 bees in the picture just to remind you about your bees,:o)

Happy harvest my friend!

Silvia

Looking good Felix. Nice to see you posting.

Hey you cheated! You have nice healthy looking soil! Everything looks great. You are going to be popular with your friends and neighbors.

Flex, your garden looks great! Glad to see everything is growing good in that compost!

Wow, gorgeous veggies and gorgeous soil too!!!

Hi,smittee.
I'm in Summewrfield,just north of the Villages.
First two weeks of December I started planting and I'm still planting. Bad news came our way and I needed to find
comfort in gardening. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hi,Elizabeth.
Thank you for your comments.
I'm looking into growing more vegetables,
for the family.
----------------------------------------------------------

Hi,Kat!
Thank you.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hi,Silvia.
Thank you for being my inspiration in my attempt
to grow vegetables.
Speaking of bees, you can see my bee hive,in the
10Th picture,in the upper right.
Thank you,for your support during our trying time.
Both Syl and I appreciate it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ms marion, thank you. My Sylvia was diagnosed with breast cancer,right after Thanksgiving. Our world fell apart.
I stayed away from people,including the Internet. through prayers,positive thoughts and comforting words from dear friends,I have survived. My wife had surgery and is going
for therapy. The prognosis is looking better all the time.
God is good! I appreciate all the good positive thoughts and prayers. Garden web friends are awesome!

amberroses,
thanks,I have been building up the soil with Ginger
manure and kitchen scraps. Ginger is the name of my son,Jeremy's horse.;-)
-----------------------------------------------------------
stuartwanda,thanks.
you should see all the compost that I have ready. It's a big mound under some trees. I have been letting the manure rut with vegetation mix with kitchen scraps. The pile got so big that it's difficult to turn it,specially with my disability. My son Jeremy,with his tractor mixed the compost into a nice pile. He loves playing with his toys.He He.

Hi,new2gardenfl.
Thanks for commenting. I'll take more pictures as the veggies grow. With the rain now falling the garden is singing.
Hugs to all,
Felix

Your garden looks wonderful and shows a lot of work went into it. So sorry to hear about Sylvia's health issue. God is good and prayer is powerful, I will keep you both in my prayers.

Kay

Oh dear Flex and Sylvia, my prayers are with you both!

Oh my goodness, Felix! Your garden looks fantastic! And it is sooo huge! I think this will be your therapy over the next few trying months, and your great healthy veggies will give Sylvia her strength back.

I think you know I am a breast cancer survivor. Seven years last month. I have several friends who also went through the ordeal and are survivors. It makes a dent in your spirit at the time, but Sylvia will emerge stronger than ever. I will set to praying for both of you....He always hears me. Just keep focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel. Each chemo behind her will be a victory and a step closer to being done with the ordeal. Keep the faith, He is still there.

I have missed your postings, Felix. Please keep us informed on Sylvia, and keep showing us your garden's progress frequently so we can live vicariously through your accomplishments!

Hugs,
Anna

Hey Buddy,

YOU ROCK! On more than one level...we're all sending you and Sylvia our best karma.

Tom

You and Sylvia will be in my thoughts and prayers too. Yes, please let us know how she is doing. :o)

Ana, thank you for sharing your triumphant experience with us, that is exactly what Felix likes to hear at this moment.

And Felix, remember what I told you? Eating well is the best weapon against any disease. My prayers are with you and Sylvia.

Keep the good energy going!

Silvia

Thank you guys!!!
kgardens,yes,I have put work into this garden. This is where I have cried and prayed and have felt God's comfort.
I go there several times everyday,to pull weeds,add compost and water.
Thank you for your prayers.

stuartwanda,thank you,for praying.

Ana and Silvia,
Gracias!!
Silvia is right,that's what I need to hear. Survivor's stories. Silvia your story about your dad has been a big help. I shared it with my Sylvia.
Ana,my wife knows you as my friend who sent me the "blue goddess water lily. :-)

Tom,
You ROCK too!
Thank you for being there and making yourself available.
I appreciate you.

Hey,Kat!
Thanks for the prayers! I will let you guys know about Sylvia. After 37 years of being married to this beautiful lady,I'm still crazy about her.
Big group hug! :-)

Beautiful garden, even the "first time" plants look great! Prayers and Hugs.
Sharon

Felix, I understand perfectly about how the garden can help soothe you whenever you're in distress or upset. Your garden looks wonderful! I often go out into the garden to either work or just wander when feeling upset and just being surrounded by nature helps me. I first started gardening the year that my sister was in and out of the hospital several times with kidney problems. I started taking care of my parents garden as a way to help them while they were traveling back and forth to Tampa taking care of my sister and as a way to deal with all the stress and worry of the situation.

It is wonderful that Sylvia's prognosis keeps looking better. I hope and pray for her full recovery.

Hi,Sharon and Karalynn!!
Thank you,both.
I garden before my massive stroke but afterward,the garden became a therapy for physical,emotional and spiritual.
Hugs,
Felix

felix i was delighted to see your post, impressed with your garden, and deeply saddened about your beautiful sylvia's illness. i don't pray often, but i'll say one for you both tonight... keep strong, friend. she deserves nothing less.

Felix, Ralph and I are married 46 years and still crazy for each other, so I know how you feel. Though we've never met, hugs to you both.

Felix, mi amigo! I'm so impressed with your BEE-yootiful vegetable garden! What a lot of work (and therapy) has gone into it. And you know as I said to you before, I believe absolutely in the power of positive thinking, prayer, visualization, and healing energy. Keep picturing you and Sylvia enjoying the fruits of your labor for a long, long time to come. If you "see" it, you'll believe it, and if you believe it, you can make it happen!!

Those veggies will help heal your spirits and your bodies, as you grow them, and as you harvest them, and as you EAT them. (Ooooh, yummy...the best part!)

Give Sylvia her daily hug from me, and take care of yourself, as well!!

Marcia

Flex, we on the Fla. Forum are Family. If you cry we also cry with you. We will be here for you and your family, even if we have never met.
Hugs to you both!

Michael,I told Syl that you called her beautiful,she laugh
so I had to reassure her that you meant it. I appreciate your comment and all.

Kat,
congratulations on still being crazy about each other,
after 46 years. What a testament of love. Thanks for the hug,as well.

Marcia,
Syl is in the kitchen right now stir-frying greens from our garden with shrimp. I hope your mom is doing well and you have slowed down.

Wanda,That is so sweet. Also I like how you call me Flex,ha ha ha!
Hugs back to you.
Felix(Flex) :-)

Hey Buddy, we're all here with you two and for you two!

Tom & Cathy

Felix---Thanks so much for sharing the nice pictures of your garden. It looks wonderful.

I didn't take pics of my garden this year because it isn't as pretty as my last year's garden--especially after the freezes.

Your Sylvia is fortunate that your are there to be "her rock" during the tough time ahead. Hope she feels well soon.

Christine
