Yesterday's garden crawl

[HAB911]

We just suffered a prolonged freeze followed by extreme drought conditions, but it seems the blackberry and mulberry were invigorated by the cold

3. I second what brer cat said. Great close-ups! Does "garden crawl" mean on your stomach?

8. Wow, my dear HAB911! These are phenomenal. So beautiful, so much detail!

Your daylily is the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a few!



Thank you.

[HAB911]

10. The Star Gooseberry

really tickled this gardener's fancy. It almost doesn't look real! I am not familiar with that delightful plant!

Thanks for the tickle!

12. new for me as well

Just saw it in the garden center along with a "Chief Kubo's Pride" Salad Tree, an edible Hibiscus. I'm a sucker for any edible I can stick in the ground. Florida is lush, but harsh. Our dirt is basically beach sand without the salt, holds no moisture, has little organic matter.

This year I built an arbor for three varieties of Muscadine and a Scuppernong, looking forward to those later in the year.
