Welcome to my zone 9 garden. My roots are deeply planted in the sandy soil of sub-tropical central Florida, where the summers are long and hot, but the rest of the year is paradise!
Makayla seeks cover from the July sun behind a large green intertube propped up against the screen enclosure. It's the time of year when it's just plain HOT, and we all seek shelter from the midday heat. You've got to get it wherever you can find it.
I'm in the state of "Seeing Red" these days! Every window I look out of I "See Red" and it's wonderful!! ...

Welcome to Ma Petit Jardin ~
"My little garden" is a mere 1/8 of an acre of garden space. It was chosen with the intention to simplify and create my own "little" piece of paradise.
Don't let its diminutive size fool you. My plans for this "petit" space include a haven for a variety of wildlife, a kitchen garden, and of course, plenty of bold Florida foliage and cottage flowers.
This won't be "gardening as usual." It's going to take a little creativity and "outside of the box" thinking, and I'm definitely up for that.

Just plain hot and humid as a sauna! The only place to be in the afternoon is sitting in the intertube in the water... or in the a/c. *grin*
Meems...I totally agree!
