the weeds are over whelming….

you had to know I’d take photos…..

Camellia

African Iris

Pink Knock-out rose

Dwarf bottle Brush

ACK!!!!!!!

A Change In The Weather…

While my heart,thoughts,and prayers are with the Northeast,I can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief it wasn’t us in Florida.

...can you say Charley,Frances,Jeanne,and Wilma?…

Finally…..

….Sandy has brought welcome relief from the heat and humidity of our Florida summer weather.

And the garden is ever so happy….

Dwarf Powder Puff….

Cassia Senna…

excuse the empty,dirty birdbath…..

Where these came from,I have no idea.But I’ll keep ‘em….growing in a container in the veggie garden.

Romaine lettuce….

Green beans,Contender Bush…

Peas,Sugar Snap…

Kale…

Collards are up,but for some reason aren’t doing very well this year.Maybe they’ll improve with the cooler weather?

Does anything else say Autumn like Firebush?

Plumeria against the dark sky of the incoming front…

For some reason,the only ones that bloomed this year were the yellow,and the yellow and cream.Last year,the only ones that bloomed were the pink and the reds.Could the weather have an effect on them?

and Harley is taking her job seriously……

Yeah,right….

you lovin’ this weather,too?
