Looking Forward – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/01/31/looking-forward

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. January 31, 2016. September 25, 2016. As we were close to a frost twice this week, they suddenly all decided to drop their leaves and the lawn now looks very autumnal! I have really been loving the Hyacinths. Even before they are fully up and open they are so pretty. I heven tucked a few into a few little mercury glasses. Even just one gives of such a powerful fragrance. I have added some silver birch twigs into the pots too because Tulips tend to get a bit floppy....

Splashes of Color – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/02/20/splashes-of-color

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. February 20, 2016. September 25, 2016. Our rather upside down winter and early spring have contributed to some unexpected color combinations in the garden this week. I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed by them or if I should just enjoy them while they last! Even the cardinals are adding pops of color amongst the flowers. Bees are everywhere enjoying the new flowers…. On the Mystic Spires Salvia…. The container plants…. I enjoyed two big sprays from La Marne rose in...

Wildflowers and a Spring Beach Walk – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/03/08/wildflowers-and-a-spring-beach-walk

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. Wildflowers and a Spring Beach Walk. March 8, 2016. September 25, 2016. The last couple of weeks in Central Florida have bought blue skies, cool fresh air and warm sunshine. It is a wonderful time of year to be sure! We love to go out to the beach on part of the Cape Canaveral National Seashore to walk and blow the cobwebs away. The last time I took you on a walk out there it was wild and stormy. This weekend it was definitely more typical of Florida! There is certainl...

Seeking Some Shade – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/06/22/seeking-some-shade

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. June 22, 2016. September 25, 2016. Although damaging I still think there is something very beautiful about roses laden with rain drops! Unknown old tea rose. The towering Salvia Amistad that was in this bed got blown sideways and so it has been cut back and is coming up nicely again. Luckily some Salvia Black and Blue is still here much to the delight of the hummingbirds which love this flower. Some small Gardenias are also mixed in here. Plumbago and Foxtail Fern.

A blog about backyard gardening in North Florida. Thursday, July 21, 2016. With the heat and afternoon thunderstorms, it's hard to get outside and stay long enough to get some work done. I have slowly been working on our front rose gardens and adding new roses by cuttings. I also planted a yellow hibiscus and large flower Luna hibiscus right by a gutter. they are doing great! My organized seed starting bench. Organizing seeds in larger containers. Look how many are on two dried flowers! Flower Friday: So...

Cody's Plants: Summer Showers

http://www.codysplants.com/2016/08/summer-showers.html

A blog about backyard gardening in North Florida. Thursday, August 11, 2016. The past few weeks have been nothing but rain and more rain. Sometimes it's a downpour while other times it's just a constant drizzle. The main problem with all this rain is that the sun barely comes out to dry it up. I haven't watered anything in over a week and I'm afraid my seedlings aren't growing very much without any sunlight. Email - cody@codysplants.com. From around the yard:. Yellow and Purple Coneflower seedlings.

Cody's Plants: Angel Trumpets Everywhere!

http://www.codysplants.com/2016/06/angel-trumpets-everywhere.html

A blog about backyard gardening in North Florida. Friday, June 17, 2016. My yard is being taken over by Angel Trumpets (Brugmansia). When we moved in a year ago, these were little sticks in the ground with some leaves. They grew large during the fall but died back to dead sticks in the winter and then I cut all the sticks back to the ground. Once Spring came, these Trumpets started their crazy growing cycle. Here's a picture of how big the plants were when we moved in:. Almost as tall at our screen porch.

A blog about backyard gardening in North Florida. Thursday, June 9, 2016. June Garden Update - It's Hot Outside. It's been a busy couple weeks with school getting out and some traveling. We had to deal with Tropical Storm Colin's flash flooding and now we are back to 90 degree heat. The following pictures are what's going on around our yard. Tomatoes growing everywhere. The seeds came from overripe fruit that I sliced and placed in the garden. I thinned out the seedlings once they began growing. I love s...

Cody's Plants: March 2016

http://www.codysplants.com/2016_03_01_archive.html

A blog about backyard gardening in North Florida. Tuesday, March 29, 2016. Pollen Rain = Yellow Puddles. This past week has been nothing but pollen and rain. It rained non-stop for three straight days and now the pollen picked right back up covering everything. My larger Angel Trumpets (Brugmansia) cuttings are growing real well. Tonight I trimmed off the dead parts of the cuttings so that they have room to grow tall. It's amazing how easy these things grow. Two new cuttings starting to grow leaves.
