…keep fallin’…
I know it’s the rainy season in Florida,but still….
We’ve had a lot of rain,lately.
Nothin’ to do but take the camera
and play with the settings
and Photoscape…
Hey! How’d you get in here?
“There’s rain drops in the photo,aren't there?"
Whatever….
…Just somethin’ to do on a rainy afternoon…..
You ever play with photo software?
Ain’t it fun?
What do you use?
It’s just waaay too hot,and humid,to do anything in the garden.
The last three days,I have gotten up early.
To try and beat the heat…
And the humidity…
And the rain…
Was it so long ago when we were bemoaning the lack of rain?
But by 10AM,sweat is running into places that are incredibly uncomfortable,
…not to mention…w-e-l-l,you get my drift….
….and I’m pooped….
Even the butterflies are kinda pooped…
The only shady spot in the yard.…
is wet and mosquito filled…
So far,I have managed to get a few beds weeded,
…the birdfeeders filled…
.I think I have nine…
...not counting the three suet feeders..
Even Buddha looks like he’s sweating…
Today,was spent in and outta the pool,
…it is late July,
in Florida,
after all….
I’m not stupid…
and trying to take a few photos for documentation of where TheGreatWall is at this time of year…
Most of the Caladiums have been dug up and planted into containers,on the new screened lanai….
Miss Muffet
Gingerland
Tropical Sage seems to have adjusted well…
Here,with a back drop of Cat’s Whiskers.
The hummers love the Tropical Sage,by the way.
Should I be dead heading them?I haven’t been,but I wonder if they would bloom more prolifically if I dead headed them.
Thoughts?
Anyone…?
Bueller…?
I moved the sun loving Hosta’s,to a less sun loving spot.
In the right background,is Lemon Grass growing in a galvanized tub.also there is Giant Liriope and Cinnamon Fern.
Contrary to belief,they did not do well in full sun.Now,they are in a spot that gets full sun until about noon-1 o’clock.And they seem to like it much better in their new home…
The orchids love this weather…
As do the other shade loving plants that have been moved to the lanai…
Hey,Gramma….
What Emma?
You know how you can stay cool?
How?
Eat ice cream!!!!!
I love ice cream!
I see that,Emma…
…than to take a weekend off from the garden.
Dumb thing to do during rainy season,in Florida.
With the rain we’ve been having the weeds have been growing.
…by leaps and bounds….
Time to get back to work on the garden…
Managed to fill two garbage cans with this kind of stuff…
But some things love this weather….
The Angel’s Trumpets have not stopped blooming….
The Sedum is growing …
Wet weather doesn’t seem to be bothering it at all.I would have thought that with all this rain it would have started to rot.But even the Sedum that is in the ground is growing.
Go figure.
One of those things we gardeners cannot…
….or
will never understand?
The Plumerias are growing by leaps and bounds.
This is a deep pink/red…
And this is a yellow…
Hey Gramma!
What Emma?
Can I say hi?
You most certainly can.
Hi!!!
Everyone!!!
….and stay cool….
cuz I am…
Oy!I need a concrete guy,stat!
