We treated ourselves to a much needed mid-winter break. We drove into South Florida as far as Naples. The weather has been beautiful. While there, I have taken these photos of a visit to the Naples Botanical Gardens. I am pleased to show them to you and I hope they brighten up any dreary weather you might be now…

Winter 19 Jan 2024
It was my birthday yesterday. It seems to never fail that the coldest weather of the year occurs on the week of my celebration. We had temps down to 10 F a few nights ago. It will be in the mid teens Fahrenheit tonight and tomorrow night. Looking around the yard, I do not see any evidence of severe…

Winter 12 January 2024
The garden continues to mostly hibernate. Closer looks reveal some early appearance of early spring bloomers. It is still difficult to find photos for the blog. The upper reaches of the USA are experiencing a wintery blast. This will be enough that it will probably make the newscasts of Europe and the rest of the globe. We here in…

Winter 5 January 2024

It is finally here. Even though a snowfall is nonexistent and unlikely, our weather has brought plant growth to a crawl. The sunrise seems so distant and silent. The few birds are also silent but they do come to the feeder. This is the last post for 2023 but I did find some interesting photos for you. Come…

I was better motivated today and I resolved to find some worthy snaps for the blog. To delight, it was a sunny and pleasant day. There were plenty of photo…

Late Fall Colors 8 Dec 2023
The weather is mild enough that blooms continue to appear. Most of the leaves have fallen from the trees but there is plenty of color in the shrubs. The garden tasks still are mainly trimming perennial stalks, raking leaves and other general clean up duties. I still have colorful photos to show you. If you…

Winter is Approaching 1 Dec 2023
The calendar turned over to December and Christmas is approaching. Things are very slow moving in the garden. I searched for photo worthy plants today and I had a lot of success. Here in the American South we don’t expect snow or deep freeze temperatures. We may have a light frost every week or two…

More Fall Colors 10 Nov 2023
After a very dry fall up until now, the forecast is for a typical November rainy period for the next 10 days. That is refreshing since the ground has been parched and the plants show signs of drought stress. Maybe, it will soon be time to plant bulbs and move some plants. Despite all this…
