Freaking finally!!!

After moving to our quaint little city of Gulfport, FL, I lost track of days (years) and what my password was for "Let there be Gnomes." So very sorry for the extended hiatus. I really didn't mean to neglect my blog. I've been posting a lot of gardening pictures on Facebook because it was easier to do so. However, not many of my FB friends are avid gardeners. Time to utilize my blog :)

Gulfport's zone is slightly different than Groveland's. We're a zone 9/10 here. Groveland's was more of a 9. I've had better luck in growing my container plants here...while using more water for my terra cotta potted plants.

I've started two compost bins and will eventually merge them into ONE large bin. I figure if they're combined, the heat will help decompose all the goodness and I will be able to use the compost sooner. As it is now, I have only been able to use the prepared compost once in the 1.5yr we've been here. Boo.

 

These pictures are from last year. I have to download newer ones. I still have all of these flowering plants. They are really so happy here. Since moving to Gulfport, I have become a fan of Old Garden Roses. I have four Louis Phillipe Roses and a few other types who's name escapes me at the moment. I hate to cut this short, but I'm just exhausted from the day's events. (I can't even remember the names of my precious roses!)

Once I get my recent photos uploaded, I will publish a new post. Stay tuned!
