Default Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?

Before you laugh at my picture know that my tomatoes planted in May (afternoon shade) withered and died without ever spitting out a single flower. They just wilted and croaked. Yes, I know how to grow tomatoes. Who doesn't? They're weeds. They flourish in sidewalk cracks in the city! Indeed these are volunteers from a friend's compost bin. (I refused to spend another dime on "special Florida" plants.)


When these actually acted like they'd survive...



I carefully tarped them on the 25F night and all those under 40...



I gave them some generic Miracle Gro because they're growing in "black sand" that is dreadful...



I watered carefully because, despite the pots having drainage, that nasty "dirt" holds water. (Yeah, it's sand--go figure.)



I have played bee because there are none here...



So without further ado...
