The lowdown dirty no-good gardener who wants to surf & fish instead of weed & water.

The Oddest Spring Yet
My chief therapy these days is sticking my hands in dirt and making plants grow and bloom. And wow is it paying off.
In addition to these, the two lantanas I planted last fall by the side of the cottage have both taken root and are sprouting, along with a little confederate rose mallow.
Then there are the old friends in the garden, who are always a welcome sight.
White Ginger
Old Salem Pink Primroses |
Spiderwort
Mint
Since we don't know how long the pandemic will be raging, my brother and I are turning over the prospects of growing more of our own food. To this end, some plants that are already established may come in handy: the fig tree, peach trees, elderberry trees, cornflowers, mint, thyme, oregano, even day lilies and a weed in our yard, Florida Betony. More on that later.
