My Florida Garden: June 2011

June 14, 2011 Spring Hill, FL 34606, USA

This is our "Emo" Sunflower. It won't follow the sun but faces the screened porch all day.
Florida is about to enter the rainy season. At least it should. I mean we should have had triple-digit heat indexes in April but we didn't. The weather does not seem to be following its predictable course this year. Still, if it does rain for 30 days, as it usually does, I'll be losing sunflowers to the deluge. 

My Florida Garden: May 2011

 It has been quite a while since I've posted. Keeping up with life has been a challenge but one I think I am meeting. One of my challenges has been my new yard. There is something very different about the soil on the west coast of Florida. It sucks! I've noted that it isn't only my yard, but the majority of yards, which are bad. And by bad I mean sand, weeds, sand spurs, very little grass and large sandy areas.  I've been fighting this yard for months now. It's looking better but I see a lot more work having to be put into it next February.
