Grow it, then cook it.
This is where I write about growing food in a Central Florida backyard and cooking it from scratch, at a pace that leaves room to actually enjoy it. You’ll find recipes, what to plant and when down here, and the occasional crochet project for when it’s too hot to be outside. Pull up a chair.

Hi! Olives & Okra!
I garden, cook, and slowly fill my Central Florida yard with more food than I can reasonably keep up with. I came to all this the long way around, after years of rushing through dinner and buying what I could’ve grown myself. Now I plant okra in the heat, put up what I can’t eat fast enough, and write it all down here. Stick around if that’s your kind of thing.
