Gardening in the south can be such a pleasure! Welcome to the forum, and welcome to gardening. Please let us know how your garden restoration is...
Isn't wet wonderful! So glad you are getting much needed rain. Now your garden and flowers will perk up!
Toni, Perhaps someone else cast a spell on your rue? My herb books say to plant it in full sun, but the ones that are doing best are in...
I planted rue for the Swallowtail butterflies, and boy, did it work! We have swallowtails laying eggs on the rue, caterpillars eating the leaves,...
I sympathize with your difficulty in finding plants or bulbs at the right time. Have you tried feed stores? Our local feed store has transplants,...
Cheryl I think what you have is hairy cluster vine (Jacquemontia tamnifolia). It grows to 7 ft., is an annual, and is a member of the morning...

Simply lovely! I am so glad you had a rainy day so you could post these fantastic photos for all of us to enjoy!
