A very cloudy, cool day, but I guess for December 1st, it's not too bad. Most of the country is freezing, so I think we can handle 72! The garden is in the 'shut down' mode. Most everything is loosing the leaves and only a few annuals are still in bloom. There are a few perennials that bloom around this time that are beautiful now. Guess we need to plant more of them to fill in the gap between fall and spring in Central FL. Not really winter, but not much thrives during this time. Can't wait for Feb to come around!

Calendula
First attempt at growing this species and it has been a great success! All seeds germinated and the plants are all mature and ready to bloom. This is the first flower to open fully and is spectacular - 2 1/2" in diameter - very uniform orange color. Hoping it's a good self-seeder or at the very least we're able to collect and re-sow seeds for more plants. |
