Gardening in SW Florida....

Did you know that SW Florida has three growing seasons?

We are a sub-tropical climate where frosts and freezes during the winter are very rare. Fruit trees and tropical plants grow easily and it is very common to have avocado, mango, bananas, and papaya trees in our backyards. Sound like fun? Head out to your backyard and pick that banana for your morning cereal.....YUMMY!

Most vegetables also grow well, but only in the cooler seasons since many have a tough time surviving our hot and humid summers.

This girl from New England sure has had to learn a lot about gardening in this Hardiness Zone of 10......worth ever moment when I will pick a tomato or two for Thanksgiving dinner.

Why live in SW Florida....?

I've read that a Realtor can only be successful when they love the place that they live and work....

Well, I am hear to tell you that SW Florida (Cape Coral) is the most incredible place....

Every day I wake up I am reminded of the feeling I had as a child on my first day of school vacation.

And every night I watch the sunset from my backyard....I am thankful for another day in Paradise.

'Simonne'....check out this 1914 Indian Motorcycle.....

Meet 'Simonne'....

This is the 1914 Indian Motorcycle my brother (Marty Christopher) renovated.....

This bike earned 99 ¾ points of a possible 100 when it made its debut at an Antique Motorcycle Club of America show.

Marty is an expert in the field of all motorcycles but his passion lies with these old Indians.

He spent four years putting Simonne back together and today she shines with pride.

I am so proud! Congratulations Marty!!
