A friend of mine in Florida recommended it, so I've got some planted, waiting to germinate.<br /><br />Hope your rain barrels are full!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205621545063667402.post-22971989532105213992021-07-20T21:22:08.781-04:002021-07-20T21:22:08.781-04:00Well I think we're receiving all of your rain ...Well I think we're receiving all of your rain this year. We've been inundated. The rain I'm fine with (although the berries aren't as sweet this year because of it) but the accompanying humidity is a real bummer. We usually have stretches of humidity and then stretches of low humid warm weather. Not this year.... It's making lettuce growing a challenge.<br /><br />Everything is looking quite beautiful! While I didn't plant winter squash this year I did plant summer squash and the plants are stunted for some reason. I have no idea why. I hope all is well!Staci Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067119970666863558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205621545063667402.post-65660259992107658622021-07-20T17:17:37.107-04:002021-07-20T17:17:37.107-04:00As usual, your garden is beautiful.

We are in need.

Your garden reflects the care you give it.<br /><br />How are you doing with female squash flowers? I seem to have very few this year and so far, have no winter squash! It's puzzling to the point it's almost a concern.

Vitex is one I keep thinking we should be growing here, as it's such a nice pollinator and butterfly tree. Yours looks happy. I hope you'll get some good rain over the next few days, and have a lovely weekend! Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.com
