It was a really peaceful day for me around here which I loved. I was walking around my little half acre yard and thinking,..."What a mess David!" (Too many interests and to busy to keep it all up I suppose. Ha!)

In other words, some things look like crap and I really need to be busier soon. On the upside, we gardeners can always find some beauty somewhere in our seasonal shifts along the way.

These pics' of around the door I do like though. This old hanging basket has 12 different plants in it and is 24" across. A few months back I lined it with old shade cloth left over from past projects and it has worked really well. The palm fiber ones were to costly and don't last anyway. It was zip tied to the top.

Many of the flowering additions (white and lavender Vinca and a thunbergia) have just been cut back, so no flowers. Foliage is good for now though. I hope to be able to send pic's of it with flowers soon. The Coleus in the large container below is rolled into the garage every freeze and cut back in Spring. Its 4 years old and takes full Southern exposure even in my full hot Central Florida Southern exposure front. Its a favorite and keeper!

Keep up the good works and never let the weeds get you down!
I tip my hat to you.
