Flowers from Georgia to Florida

Gardening in Florida means being a wrangler more than a grower.

Re: Sheryl's Kitchen Garden

Looks yummy! I once showed my neighbor photos I'd taken of my okra blossoms. Though an avid vegetable gardener himself, he'd never looked closely at "those beautiful flowers."

Re: Front yard that used to be all lawn is now all garden. All done by me over many years. Half wild, half formal.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm working on the same project right now.

Re: Flower Box Herb Garden

Thanks for the promise of more pictures, I can hardly wait. I like "second-story" gardening.

Re: My Angel Trumphets

I love angel trumpets, both Brugmansia and Datura, but I can't keep them alive. I know they grow here because I see them all over town. There used to be a white one that was two stories tall across from the police station. I'm also partial to the purple ones, used to buy them at the farmers' market but could never get them to rebloom. Any hints?
