We say it often- we’re crazy for vines. They bring so much color and interest and we could collect one of every vine in every color and still look for more. Vines are unique in that they have a stem that is designed to cling to other plants, trellises, fences and whatever is in their […]
Often, one of the first questions that a transplanted gardener asks us is “do tulips and daffodils grow here?” They don’t and you’ll only miss them for a little while! Around here, we have some pretty glorious flowering bulbs that will make you beam! We’re talking about Amaryllis, Asiatic Lilies, Cannas, Blood Lilies, and the […]
This past week I have noticed more Swallowtails in flight that we’ve seen since last Fall. The Swallowtail is one of the largest, and some would say the most beautiful, of all the Florida butterflies. There are ten Swallowtails that are native to Florida. All but the Polydamas have tails! They rely on their tails […]

The lower part of […]
Pretty your place with Palms! This wouldn’t be Florida without the waving fronds of the tropical palms. Palms are the easiest way to “tropicalize” your garden and give great shade but also allow the breeze to flow through. Always fertilize your palms with a palm fertilizer 3 to 4 times a year in the warmer […]
Summer calls for picnics, pauses, and projects. Not rushed, drudgery projects but the kind of projects we want to do, on our own schedules. A schedule that moves at the speed we wish Summer moved, slooooowwwwly. A few weeks ago, I had a visitor who pulled into my western Massachusetts driveway by complete surprise. I […]
It tastes like brown sugar!!! Sapodilla has many names depending upon what island or country you are in. Marvin knew it as ‘dilly as a kid and he would climb the trees to pick the tree-ripened fruit. This tree is a slow grower but has a dense, dark green canopy and will grow well in […]
