Beach Garden
My Diary: September 11, 2022
Starting very slowly and deliberately. No squared-off beds, no rows.
This will be a “grow area” on our property. I planted the pineapple tops right into the sand. The apple-banana trees, likewise, were planted directly into the sand. Two of the potting soil-filled tires have garlic and potatoes started.
The compost pile has boards on top to keep out the critters (including our dogs). In the above photo, I am watering a small lime tree. Also planted a couple of avocado seeds in this area. We’ve been told avocado trees struggle because of the salt, so we’ll see!

We saw an Orchid Bush somewhere along our travels and were able to score a few seeds. Some I directly planted into a small pot with good gardening soil. The others I soaked in water. The first batch never sprouted, but the sprouts from the soaked seeds are beautiful, don’t you think?
