Lime to sweeten this composted Bald Cypress needles fresh off the carport and some
new organic packaged Chicken manure fertilizer to fast push the growth.
Why pots you ask?
Sure beats the sand we Floridians call soil. My composted Bald Cypress needles is the new
Black Gold.
Just added a new staple to feed these voracious beasts. Adding cooked fresh green beans
to the already staple of organic fresh Spinach and Broccoli.
Today's meal brought to you by the Bachelor Cafe. Artichokes in water, fresh sliced Cucumber,
fresh cut Baby Bellas mushrooms, fresh cooked Greenie Beanies, favorite Marinara Sauce, Lemon
zest and a ton of Garlic powder.
Mangiare!
my Yogi friend, name is unknown at this point in the game of name this plant. It could
be months before it reveals it's true identity.
This Hawaiian Ginger is a sunset on a stick.
Close your eyes and take a whiff and let it's fragrance take you a way.
both once thrived less than a mile where I live. My garden has many memories attached, many
still thrive while some pass as all good things will do.
It's been said many ways, how our life is how it's traveled, because we all know the destination.
I will also make a point to make that journey as beautiful as possible in the most unimaginable
ways.
Isn't that right GrandMa!
This Angel or Devil's Trumpet not only has an intoxicating beauty it will fill the night air
with it's passionate fragrance. It also has the toxicity to kill, so now that you have been
warned.
One of many varieties of Lady Finger style bananas my neighbor from our north streetside
neighborhood shared with me. Him and his wife have been enjoying bananas off this big little
producer for years.
Time will tell if I can reproduce some for myself and share with my planthead buddies. I've
had past successes with growing these beauties. They are hungry, thirsty beasts.
Small price to pay for this constant gardener. Barrels of saved rainwater, nothing but the best.
A bag of organic chicken manure, thank you for your service.
and what a bute it is.
I went into an orchid show last year hoping to find an orchid that is totally unique.
Not knowing that there might be other things sold other than orchids. Well here
I am a year later and realizing my orchid is not an orchid. It couldn't be further
from it's origins. Almost as beautiful and most likely a night bloomer too. It
looks like there could be other blooms and will have to see for my own eyes
if it is a night bloomer.
This s what a cactus blooms looks like when it was up all night.
First bloom time for this year old, to the day since in my care. Once this cactus opens, is
when it will truly reveal it's self.
I looked over my shoulder and staring into the darkness wondering what might
be staring back. Hoping it shares the same wonderment that I share with my backyard
urban jungle.
Look ma, no roots. This African Violet's performance has been lacking, so
severing it from it's depleated potted root ball is severe and yet has proven
successful in the past seems appropriate.
Panicum undulatifolium Ard one of several botanical names for this ...should I
say it? Weed. Perhaps to some and a summer ground cover to others.
An Asian origins plant, non-native and in some parts, considered invasive.

Scenes from my garden, well, my whole yard is a garden. What else would you expect
from a constant gardener.
And more wavy grass among some tall Liriope ornamental grass.

Speaking of nurseries, this Resurrection fern is off to a great start, with a foot hold onto

A new edition to the yard, seen at the left is a Jackfruit tree from seed and soon
to be a year old this December, one of two.
my backyard walk way realignment is done. With the added side slabs to jazz up the
right justified first slab at the carport gives it some flair. *pats self on the back*
My favorite saying, Change your outer landscape, Changes you mind-scape.
In these times, we need a new normal. What better way to mark this philosophy by
a modified landscape.
Where did I get the energy to finish this project?
Still zooming from my early morning sighting of bright green meteorite on my morning
bike ride around the lake. This sighting lasted a relatively long three seconds, which
competed with a nearly full moon, to boot. Obviously, I would not have a picture, but
I did a respectable illustration, which I present to my garden/astronomical enthusiasts.
