Winter on the HomefrontJanuary 29, 2011This is a brief break in our vacation gardening photos just to let you know that life continues in the garden even during the winter.  Last year we did not get the snowfall we needed during the winter and as expected the growing season was not as good as it could have been.  This year has been a bit different.  While we were away during most of the month ...

Gator Pond at Busch GardensDecember 16, 2010When we first visited the resort where we ended up buying a vacation home I thought the cutesy warning signs about not feeding or antagonizing the alligators were meant to add a bit of humour.  By the end of that first trip in 2009 I realized the alligators were very much real.  We bought in March of 2010 but didn't see our new vacation home until May ...

It felt so good to put all my Christmas decor away!  I LOVE Christmas decorating but after the new year when it is all put away, my house just feels so clean, simple and fresh!   LOVE that!!! :) I kept my house totally “undecorated” meaning I didn’t put anything back that I took away for my Christmas stuff.  (except for the bigger stuff). It took me a couple of days to get used to it but I LOVED ...

Powder Puff Plant (Calliandra haematocephala)December 16, 2010 As we were wandering through Busch Gardens I couldn't help but notice the Powder Puff Plant (Calliandra haematocephala).  The leaves reminded me of Mimosa (sensitive fern) so I just had to touch them.  They don't fold up like Mimosa does but they were still quite pretty.  The Powder Puff Plant was planted to form a barrier between ...

Bamboo Fence at Busch GardensDecember 16, 2010During our visit to Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida I noticed the effective use of bamboo as a living screen and bamboo sticks as camouflage screening.  Bamboo grows quickly and rather tall making it ideal for use as a living privacy screening not only from side views but also views from taller adjacent buildings.   It can help as a sound barrier as ...
