Thanks Jean -- right now i'm focused on my hostas and northern plants. Should be back in FL by mid Oct or sooner... weather depending. While I am at different locations, I miss my other gardens.

@tcs1366 I can certainly identify with missing the gardens. Wherever I am I always wonder what's happening at the other location.

Hi everyone, I'm Chris. Boy am I glad to find this forum! I just moved to Pensacola from New England, with a smallish yard one block from a large bayou in zone 9a. I am SO anxious to get things planted! Really want some fruit trees, vegies, and flowering shrubs. Being new to this climate and not much of a gardener anyway, I need plenty of advice! I'm retired, about to turn 70 , and live with my wonderful dog Jack. I haven't seen a list of good or rated plant sources here. Is there one?

I just arrived in Boca Raton from Easton, PA. I had to give away all my plants among other stuff. I have seeds from most in a safe place.

My little dog, Winston the pug, loves the weather. He is very old, but he will spend his remaining days in the sun.

Gardening is limited to patio plants for now. Looking forward to growing gardenia, jasmine and other tropical beauties!

Hi Andi! I am so glad to see you finally made it down here. GOOD for you!
Winston will love his sunbaths on the patio.

@klutzy, @GardenQuilts

Winston the pug crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I miss him so much.

He had a few days in the sun and a lifetime of love.

OH Andi. Oh Andi. I am so very sorry. I know you provided him a wonderful life but I also know you have to be heartbroken. You loved him so much. RIP Winston.

you made Winston warm and comfortable as his time neared. He was fortunate to have you to love him.

Welcome to Paradise and Happy Growing

Hello!
I am new member love decorating my garden.

Hey Charleen...didn't know you were "here" here now. Knew you had bought land, but not that you had made the move. I can add Miss Caylie and First Belle to your brugnation if you don't already have them.

June to November, Boy am I late at answering. Hello Gingin. Learning so much about my new Florida home.
boy, do I have a lot to learn.
Next week they are calling for a Frost. Bummer!!! I was hoping I would never have to worry about that...
so Here I am moving plants into house.
But I don't have to worry as much as I did in Georgia...
do good to be here.

Hi y'all!!

New transplant from NY. Here to stay. I think, anyway..!!

I had to leave most of my belongings behind, but hopefully, I'll have the ability to get them down here sometime in the fall.

Among those belongings are six lemon trees (range in age from 5 years to 35 years old), one grapefruit tree (21 years old), a bay laurel (about 12 years old) and numerous plants not in pots.

I also left behind two fur baby girl calico cats, one curmudgeon of a 21-year-old daughter, and an awful lot of books!!!

See you all around the forums!
