Zone 9B · Northeast Florida
Live from the Meadow · first Sunday of the month, 7PM Eastern
Welcome to the Meadow.
I'm Michelle. I garden on a quarter acre in Northeast Florida, Zone 9B, and I film it: tours I don't clean up for, reviews that take years, and one live show a month. What I tried, and what actually happened.
September · The Almanac
what's happening this month
In the beds
Summer crops are coming out. Okra and peppers get to stay. Fall seedlings are under the lights in the office corner.
In the orchard
Persimmons are having their best year yet. The olive tree is fruiting and I still don't know what to do with olives.
On the channel
The September tour, no cleanup first. Ten months with the rolling citrus planter, and whether the gauge was their fault or mine.
Live this month
Next one is Sunday, October 4, 7PM Eastern, on YouTube. Bring your questions. Type "Audrey" if you know why.

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!
