The Perfect Day except for the blood suckers

11-10-2019

A perfect day in South Florida except for the mosquitoes. They are never going away.

Aside from making a hanger for my Epiphyllum, I did quite a bit of repotting.

The Bromeliad was blooming in the tree.

The Patchouli is now in a large pot and I am hoping for loads of leaves to dry. Perhaps I am a 60's kind of girl but I love the smell.

The questionable light yellow elongated pepper is sweet with a tiny bit. I almost ate the whole thing before I remembered I needed it for the egg salad. That is the problem with the initial stages of a garden, you eat everything before you get it in the house.

I discovered that dill and thyme to not like each other. The dill started wilting and I got it away from the thyme fast. I sure hope the lemon thyme doesn't have that effect on lettuce but I am going to be careful where I put all thymes. They were in separate pots!

I am looking for a Silas Woods Sapodilla. It is an everbearing dwarf sapodilla. I am beginning to note my spell checker doesn't have many tropical fruits in it.

George cut a lot of the tropical cherry tree to open up more sunlight for the fruit trees. They will happy tomorrow when the sun shines on them. Now I have to rearrange all the pots.

It was a productive afternoon.

I strung the yarn for the homemade tomato cages. The little spider was upset because her web had to go but I promised her an even better frame for a web. I think I delivered.

I have to admit, this is one of the best lettuces I have ever grow even if it did lose all its siblings. One day it will make a lovely salad with the peanut flowers.

For those of you with Loquat Trees, I am pretty sure this one is blooming.

I got a Burro's Tail at the Mount's sale. Normally I would have killed most of it by now....I know, it's only been a week but I am fast.... but I think it likes where is it. They have plenty more in the nursery for sale. 

And here we have two  victims of the Lowes garden department I am nursing back to health

It is amazing the offerings I  make to  the local bees to get them into my garden. I have three wild hives at the shop and barely a single bee two blocks away at home. Do I need to give them a van ride over here? A map? Come on Ladies, I have flowers!

Have a great night folks.
