5. We moved a year and a half ago...

Everything is still just sitting out there waiting to be situated… I’ve got orchids hanging, plumerias. Tons of succulents, spider plants, fruit trees, a list too long to name them all.

Of course, every time the county announces a free tree giveaway, my son bops over to get the biggest ones…

Problem is that this is a rental and judging by the massive system of roots and dead wood EVERYWHERE, they lost at least one HUGE tree. My tiller is useless. The yard is impossible to walk through easily because 1. I shattered my knee years ago and rough terrain is iffy for me, and 2. The damned yard is nothing but huge roots and sand—not much in between. What the place needs is a couple dump truck loads of soil or at least gravel to make it usable.

Son is also even more anal than I am and has to take over any time I start a project—meaning nothing ever gets finished.

So yeah, I’ve got pots of almost anything you can imagine—gone wild. Luckily, in Florida, neglecting your plants is the best way for them to flourish (so easy to over-mother them and they perish).




Stapelia—HUGE, star-shaped flower that stinks of rotting meat…

12. When we were younger, We had all types of flowers, veggies and plants. I loved having them. As we got older, we cut back

And just have the lavender. I miss my butterfly garden the most.

15. Lavender is one of my absolute favorites!

The anise hyssop is tied with lavender. It’s one of the first to come up, it flowers from July until hard frost or freeze, it gets tall and doesn’t flop, stays green in dry spells (takes a lot to make it wilt, although it will eventually if it’s super dry), isn’t a bully to other plants, bees love it and reseeds nicely. I have a lot of it around the pool- smells nice and no thorns or harsh stems.
But I’m with you on cutting back; it’s getting to be a lot for me in these later years.

Tons of beans both Bush and runners. Blue Dream, tomatoes of all colors and sizes, watermelon. Zuchinni and hot and sweet peppers. I put in cantaloupe but the seeds were d so I don't think they will come up ( I don't see any so likely no).
