Thousands and thousands of acres, sugar cane plantation owned by the Gulf and Western back in the old days.

This area on the east has one of the largest plantations of sugar cane in the DR. They produce tons of sugar yearly for exportation.

Got my chore done (replacing a blind in the kitchen). Settled in to finally plant my tomato and pepper seeds for the garden (and the neighbor(s) garden(s)). Little late but I don't like planting till at least the middle of May around here. End of May usually produces more produce.

You are wise. Here is it after 4/15. Walmart et al have a huge scam going every spring. They entice peeps with veggie plants at the first sign of warmth, knowing they will sell those same folks those same plants again after the coming frosts. :D
 
I can't wait to start working in the yard again. This is one of my outdoor guard cats from last year.

Beauty pic.

I have been building my property for 11 years. The business takes the majority of the focus. This year we finally got the house done and decided to rip up all the lawn area and tweak the drainage away from the house. Everything is functioning/draining beautifully, but it sure is nice to see an established property. I have acres of untouched forest, and acres of gravel. Shrubberies! That's what I need.. A little softening around the edges.

The deer finally got into the garden last year. We pulled all but the beets and the next morning they were all on the ground with a bite taken from each. The following week they finished the harvest. This year is going to be landscaping, deer fencing, a few more covered areas for business and firewood, and likely more deck space, but I did use your picture to demonstrate a feeling I would like our efforts to bring.

cheers!

The deer ravaged the shrubs in our yard this winter. I'm in the process of putting up some fencing around the small garden we have because I know if I don't I'll be wasting my time planting anything.

Got mine started a couple of weeks early this year for a change on 3/18. I usually put the tomatoes and peppers in the garden about June 1 unless we get some really warm weather in the latter part of May.

Thanks.
Gardeners know something about patience, that's for sure.
My neighbor and I both have about 7 acres. He has all grass. He lives to cut grass. I had about half grass 15 years ago but have been slowly getting rid of it. Two years ago I started my biggest project. I got rid of the grass near the house - about 1/3 acre - and put in a flower garden. I divide and transplant so most of the plants came from other parts of the property.

Working on other parts now. Last year I propagated corkscrew willow. In the house I have some mimosas I started from seed.

Deer haven't been a problem. I discovered Liquid Fence years ago and it works really well. My main problem is my outdoor cats.
