Zone 9B · Northeast Florida
Live from the Meadow · first Sunday of the month, 7PM Eastern

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos and I loved it. I'm in Central Florida and started growing vegetables 20 years ago. I am now 77 and wondering just what the devil I was thinking when I planted all this crap in the yard. You have given me hope and inspiration to get back in the yard and try to clean up the mess and plant food again. Thank you thank you thank you!
