Gardening in Florida

I haven't been without a garden since I was 13. I had some pretty awesome ones in Colorado for 25 years. I am a master gardener in Colorado and Florida - but now I just do container gardening - because of this:



So everytime I try to grow veggies they pick them and spit out what they don't want. After TS Fay they ate an entire hanging plant in one morning - wonder if it killed the little fucker, since this particular plant is poisonous to cats and dogs. They even eat the hibiscus flowers and oranges! Here are some pics of my pitiful Florida gardening efforts:







I do love our tin-roof potting shed with the little porch out front:

Thank God!

We got a direct hit - so thankfully Fay was not a catagory 4 hurricane! We were out of power for 3 days - and it took 5 people 2 hours to clean up my yard.
I am so looking forward to WINTER! It is the best time of year in Florida!
