08/01 Plant Pick Up Post

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.

03/24 Plant Pick Up Post

So excited to tell you about another native plant supplier that I found! She grows her natives from seeds, is in Alachua County, and grows some plants I haven’t been able to find locally. Her plants are in 4″ containers and will be $6 each. To compare, the 1-gallon size I sell is a 6″ container. So these plants will be a bit smaller than the 1-gallons, but so is the price. The group she’s growing for me will be ready in the April/May/June timeframe. Here’s what I’m getting:

Buds, Blooms, and Berries 12/29 – 01/04

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday season. Ziva and I sure did.

How’s your garden growing this time of the year? I love doing walkabouts through Bella’s area and my personal garden to see what’s blooming. Being able to have something blooming in every season is just one of the many perks of living in the South. Keep in mind that in our area, October through April is the best time to plant those perennials, shrubs, and trees.

Plant Pick Up Post for 05/08

Well, guess what it’s time for?? It is time for the very first Florida Plant Pick Up Post!

Let me explain exactly what that is for my new Florida peeps: I go to my suppliers every week to pick up plants for y’all to buy, so I make a weekly post listing all the plants I ordered and pictures of them. That way you know what’s coming in stock, and you can see which ones you want to order next. My Texas customers seemed to enjoy the posts, so I hope you do too. Now, let’s get to the plants!
