Just wanted to say most of the plants I get are from friends who in weeding out their plants save them for me, and also I use some wild plants as well. The hardest part of gardening in Florida, for me has been warding off the bugs and the critters. Raccoons ate all my tomatoes, that is the ones the slugs didn't get. Then there was the squirrals and the birds. By the time they got done you would never know I had a vegetable garden. I put up fences and build cages, used bug killer and flapping tin in the wind. Nothing worked and so I decided to stick with native plants and trees and flowering bushes. Lot less work and worry. But I really wanted a vegetable garden, sigh.

I am good at pretending everything is all right, by just gritting my teeth and just charging ahead and getting through the rough spots, but inside I am afraid of failure and getting critized for things I do. I am hoping someone can help me, or at least understand me.
