Saltmarsh Mallow blooms

As I type this, it’s raining here in Starke. There aren’t many things better than watching the rain fall, smelling the soil start to get wet, and listening to the thunder roll. I hope you’re getting some rain too.

Well, it’s August, y’all. Which means it’s hot and sticky and kinda gross outside. “kinda gross” is a scientific term for Florida’s August weather, ya know. lol You can still plant in August/September, just remember that the new plants will need more water than usual to get established.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see me at Amelia’s Native Wildflowers in Yulee on July 12 for the Nature & Natives Market! I very much enjoy getting to see my customers in person. Lindsey from Amelia’s Native Wildflowers has the markets on the 2nd Saturday of every month. I’ll be there as a vendor selling my cool native plants each month.

And thanks to those who hung around to hear my presentation on how to attract birds to our gardens using native plants! I’ll make a post soon on that subject.

Oakleaf Hydrangea pink blooms

Hi there. I’m sure your gardens are enjoying all this wonderful rain as much as my personal garden is!

Speaking of personal gardens, I have a big ol’ list of plants I’m adding to my garden over the next few weeks. Yes, I know that October through April is the premium time to plant in our area. But y’all keep me so busy during those months that I seriously don’t have time to tend to my own garden. So I’ll just be out toiling and sweating in our heat and humidity while gardening … and loving every minute of it. I’ll post pics so you can follow along as my garden grows.
