Hello out there in blog land! I ventured into blogging last year with my music blog. Since then I have picked up a new hobby- gardening. Now, ever since I was little, I had what my grandmother so kindly referred to as a "black thumb", which I guess was her way of saying everything I touched in the yard was doomed (thanks gramma!) I went to the local Greenfest over at the University of Tampa, armed with about $100 and the need to fix up a tiny portion of the yard. $125, 3 gardenia bushes and a jasmine vine later, the one corner looked great! It was a lot of work, but all four plants are still flourishing. That's when the garden bug got me!
I decided to clear two more beds. The one I planted tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, and marigolds. The other I planted sunflowers, pentas and silver fog. Once again, these were all just kind of an experiment. Most of them are still around! I have yet to see any vegetables, but the plants themselves are doing great. Lastly, my husband and I just completed our front flower bed. We have lemon/lime shrubs, pentas and silver fog. I will post more later with before and after pictures of all of the beds.
I hope to post about the trials and tribulations of Florida gardening, and my successes and not so successes! Thanks for reading :)
