Mmm Budgielover, the contest sounds like fun!
I m a bit late responding, I don't think I've gotten the hang of
having to remember to go back and check on the threads.
For Jim - I had three huge iguanas that were
terrorizing my garden but the extended cold this past winter
seems to have tamed the iguanas because I haven't seen one since!
To Jimsned - I live in central west broward but also have little houses in Orlando
and Tallahassee. Most of my gardening experience is zone ten sub-tropical but I m learning about zones 8 & 9 little by little. I grow a little bit of everything - mangos, avocado, bananas, mulberry, hoyas, coleus, begonias, crotons, gingers, plumeria, tomatoes & eggplants (winter)--you name it lol. I m happiest with dirt under my nails How are you? Where are you and what do you grow?
