Despite the warm weather and a relatively mild winter, the plants are slow to burst forth. The birds are claiming their territory and I can hear a cardinal whatcheering away. Also heard some red-wing blackbirds but the mocker is late ... not a peep from him.

It's funny how our expectations can change as the seasons progress. My tastes are very simple in spring: After a New England winter dominated by white, gray and brown, I...

In March, the DragonFly garden is in transition from the mild Florida winter weather to the heat of summer. The temperatures in the past week have reached the low eighties and the plants are beginning to feel the heat and are in need of more water. Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a drought and are allowed to water only once per week.
This beautiful miniature yellow orchid thrives among my Plumeria tree and bloomed this week.

OK. Here's my summary from a daylight read through:
- There is a new Commission overseeing the Gardens this year.
- New plots are assigned at noon April 12 (not April 1 as I was told before).
- All gardeners must attend Garden Clean Up Day (April 12) to remove trash and invasives in and around the Gardens. Free coffee, free seeds and information.
- There is a waiting list for plots this year. (I gather this is new. I hope I am still #2.)
- This year they want to make sure all plots are actively gardened. If not they will reassign.
- There are upcoming improvements to be made at the Gardens.
So, I need to add 12 days to my countdown timer. But its fun to receive the information and to mail in my application.

My young Eureka Lemon bush is blooming and setting fruit. I'm getting so very excited. I do however have a dingy brown fungus on the leaves that I think is called copperleaf (???) I really need to look this up and treat the bush. I do not want to loose all these tiny fruits!

My inlaws have pretty green thumbs and a dozen or so huge staghorns growing under their pines. They are hung from large chains and have survived frosts, hurricanes, and lightning. They are nearly neglected, except for the occasional bananna peel that they eat up. Yes, you heard me correctly. They absorb nutrients from bananna peels. . . .

So, I've had this miracle fruit plant (Synsepalum dulcificum) for just over one month. I'd say it's flourishing. It's grown at 4-5 inches sinces I potted it, but there are no signs of blooms yet. It's been getting sprinkles of water every other day and has been getting very filtered sun.
I know fruiting plants need sun to bloom, and now that I'm sure it is adjusted to its new home here in my garden, I'll transition it to a sunnier spot.
Here's the original photo from the day it arrived by mail. If you don't know anything about this miraculous plant, read up on it.
