  1. @sekimori Yeah, I like my garden to be purty. A stark contrast to all that goes neglected in the house!
  2. @tomatokilla I'm a big fan of the Sun Gold ... still getting them through drought, heat wave, torrential rain. And yum!
  3. @sekimori thanks! and please let me know when you set up your guide
  4. Does all the rain mean we're back to rainy season? I worry it does not. Weather people say it was tropical storm meets cold front. Sigh.
  5. @sekimori I hate to admit this: I think micro looks messy. All those visible hoses. (I'm hiding my face in shame.)
  6. Another good deal: Lowe's has a quiet special on shade and flowering trees. Half off. Got the water? Get the tree. I know I want shade.
  7. @sekimori No micro, sadly, and it's so hot, hand-watering isn't enough. I'm planting shade trees!
  8. Good deal: Twin packs of 2-pound Dynamite slo-release fertilzer are $9.97 at Home Depot (a single 2-pounder is $8.97) - unadvertised steal
  9. @sekimori Everything is withered but the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes & lima beans
  10. Tomorrow is "Pink Flamingo Day"! Join the celebration with The Dirt girls. tinyurl.com/dirtblog
  11. The rumble of thunder, the flash of lightning, and the lack of rain on withering plants is a God tease. Or global warming.
  12. The Eastern lubbers have grown to the size of small dogs. My God, did Noah bring NOTHING on the ark to eat this darned things?
  13. Big plant sale at USF Botanical Gardens, Tampa, starts at 10 today. Butterfly plants, natives and herbs. $5 to get in (goes to a good cause)
  14. Get cut sunflowers for cheap this week at Sweetfields Farm in Masaryktown, Fl. Check www.sweetfieldsfarm.com for details
  15. For all those planning to start a veggie garden in Florida now, STOP. Wait till August. Despite what the seed packets say!
  16. @VeggieGardens Seeds! Radishes are THE easiest to grow. Let 'em go and they multiply.
  17. Cruel meteorological justice: Drought ends with plants rotting in water-sogged pots
  18. Very cool retro metal patio chairs at Lowe's, but not in any stores in the U.S. You have to pay in advance, $35, and get the store to order
  19. The game's on
  20. The red hot Brazilians are back at Home Depot (yay for blazing-sun gardens), and it's raining. Yay!
