I Didn’t Expect This Much Growth in Just One Week…

I didn’t expect this much to change in just one week… but every time I walk into the garden, something new is growing, blooming, or taking over.

It’s honestly becoming my favorite part of the day—just stepping outside and seeing what showed up overnight.

What’s Growing Right Now 🌱

Right now, we’re starting to see so much life in the garden:

• Cucumbers starting to climb
• Tomatoes finally ripening
• Spaghetti squash taking off
• Grapes slowly coming in
• Summer squash popping up

Still growing (but not quite fruiting yet):

• Peppers
• Zucchini
• Okra
• Green beans

And the flowers are starting to show off too—marigolds are already blooming, and I’m still waiting on the sunflowers, zinnias, and nasturtiums.

I also have peppermint, lemon balm, and thyme growing, which makes the whole garden smell amazing in the mornings.

Why It’s So Exciting

There’s just something about seeing progress this quickly that makes it hard not to get excited. It’s one of those things that reminds you how much can change in such a short time when you slow down and pay attention.

Every week looks a little different out here.

For Guests Staying With Us

If you’re staying at Dana’s Florida Getaways, you’re always welcome to walk through the garden and see what’s growing. It changes constantly, so no two visits are ever the same.

Some guests come out just to relax, others love seeing the animals and garden—it’s all part of the experience here.

If you're planning a peaceful getaway near The Villages, you can check out our farm updates to see what's available during your stay.

Come Back Next Week…

I’ll definitely be sharing another update soon because at this rate, I can’t even imagine what it’ll look like in another week.

If you’ve ever had a garden, you probably get it… it’s a little addictive watching everything grow. 🌱
