The Outer Garden Is Finally Taking Off 🚀 | May Garden Tour 2026

The Outer Garden is finally taking off, and May is bringing the kind of progress that makes all the waiting worth it. In this May 2026 Garden Tour here in Florida Zone 9B, we check on pomegranates, blueberries, blackberries, bees, watermelons, figs, ginger, turmeric, lemon trees, comfrey, mint, and Everglades tomatoes growing on the cathedral trellis. Some plants are thriving, some are still testing our patience, and a few surprises are showing up right when the garden needed them. The pomegranates are setting fruit, the blueberries are being harvested, the blackberries are coming in, and Mrs. Bow Tie already has plans for what happens in the kitchen. We also look at comfrey mulch, bee activity, cover crop struggles, and the kind of real garden progress that happens one month at a time. If you garden in Florida or another warm climate, let us know what is taking off in your garden right now. #FloridaGardening #GardenTour #FoodForest #Zone9B #HomesteadGarden #growingfood 🌱 Welcome to Bowtie Life! 🌱 - Home garden of Bowtie David Site at: http://www.bowtielife.me/ Be sure you are following on Facebook and Instagram for more progress throughout the week and month:   / bowtielife     / bowtielife_garden   Please subscribe to our YouTube channel today!    / @bowtielife   🌱 Come grow with us in the Bowtie Bunch This is our private Facebook group, created for conversations that don’t always feel comfortable out in public, and that’s okay.
