"Lety" is hoeing, removing weeds from the lettuce plants in CAs Central Coast. She literally walks miles through the fields every day. She shares, "I'm tired from all the walking. The rows are extremely long. At the end of the day my hands hurt from hoeing." #WeFeedYou

#GrowMoreFood Every pound of food that you grow offsets up to 2 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. When you grow your own food you have control of it from seed to table. So if growing food is one of your resolutions for the #NewYear2025, now is a good time to start planning.

#GrowMoreFood It's time to think about planting squashes. They have male & female flowers on each vine (this is a female). Pollination must occur for the fruit to mature. Nearby pollinator gardens help. Seminole pumpkin grows well in Florida. greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2017/09/end-...

#GrowMoreFood! We enjoy our beautiful purple carrots fresh from the garden & use them for scooping dips. Why use crackers or potato chips when we have these very sweet and tasty alternatives?? It's too late to plant carrots this year in Florida, but it's good to replace lawn with vegetable gardens.
