What a weekend this has been. I spent some time outside in the garden and played a little badminton with my daughter. I also went to the county extension office to register for a gardening class next month. While there I spotted this plant in their garden. I would really like to know what it is. It has red blooms on it that resemble the Mimosa flower. Let me know what you think it is. Keep on gardening.

after the freeze

Well ya'll the freeze has come and several plants did not fair well. My Tropicana is crumpled and sad, I sure hope it comes back this spring. Some of my vegetables didn't fair well either. Well if it can't take the cold it's not hardly to north Florida. Still working on the spring garden menu, I have so many wants that I don't know where to start and that's part of the fun. Back to the books. Happy gardening. Sorry about the photo I couldn't get it rotated upright.

Happy New Year

I just love January, it is the time for planning my spring gardens. December was a very busy month for me, so not much time to blog. Here in north Florida the weather has been mild. Still have plenty of flowers in bloom and butterflies and bees are still visiting the gardens. I found a surprise in the front garden on New Years Eve, a Mullen that I planted two years ago left a seedling. I am so excited about this plant, it has the most beautiful yellow flowers in summer. Of course it does not like our hot summers here, but it was beautiful. Still enjoying fresh grown tomato's from a pot I have in the garage. This year is going to be outstanding, got to get my seed packs together. Well happy gardening yall, will keep you posted.
