For those who are unfamiliar with this page, we are Druids, transplanted to the Sub-Tropics. I have spent most of my life in South Florida and the Caribbean. That means most temperate plants, or those commonly found in spell books, are a mystery to me and I wouldn't know them if I fell face first into them. So, early in my workings I started looking for easily available tropical substitutes which lead me on a lifelong study of botany and gardening.
Then came Global Warming and some of you are joining me in Zone 10 without moving an inch. That doesn't mean things haven't changed here. We seldom if ever see frost. It has been in the 90's here and it is the end of October! My mustard starts are falling over dead. Everyone lost all their cabbage, broccoli and cool weather crops last year so I moved planting from September to October and now it looks like November.
And then there are the questions like, can I use Cuban Oregano in spells calling for Oregano because the plant is six foot tall and needs trimming? What is Cuban Oregano??? Well, it's not oregano.
So we will be looking at these things in the coming months as I post the happenings in my yard and garden and continue to battle the iguanas for my garden.
