November 2007: Growing in Florida

A zucchini is on the vine and the bush beans have little beans. It is time to harvest the ponderosa lemon - we have three growing. We harvested radishes (a fast and easy crop to grow and a soil tester, too). Our banana trees are forming new leaves so they seem to be settling in from planting. It is exciting to grow and nurture things that we can eat and enjoy.

We brought home a boat two weeks ago. We've put it in the water every weekend day so far. It has been a learning process and fortunately we had the foresight to buy a used boat... otherwise it would look used now. Lessons we have learned:
1) Thumping speed is to fast and someone will cry.
2) If it looks like a sand bar it probably is, and will take you a lot longer to get out than it did to get in.
3) Raising the prop before the boat comes out of the water allows the car to drive forward.
