"I am a pessimistic about the human race because it is too ingenious for its own good. Our approach to nature is to beat it into submission. We would stand a better chance of survival if we accommodated ourselves to this planet & viewed it appreciatively instead of skeptically & dictatorially."

WHERE?
Central Florida. Orlando area. Zone 9B-ish.
WHO?
Two people crazy about all things outdoorsy.
One doing most of the planting, writing and pic taking.
The other lovingly supporting this typer's addiction in every conceivable way.
WHAT?
Sustainable gardening.
Some saving ideas.
Some artsy fartsy stuff.
Some food politics rantings.
Birds.
Garden creatures.
Cats...perhaps too many?
Dogs...in the future.
HOW?
Lots of experimenting & a little following instructions set by others before us.
WHY blog about it?
To track the garden's evolution.
To share stuff we've learned.
To use as a to-do list.
To hang our photos.

Plants I will not love again
**To see pics and additional info go to the top left of the blog and type the plant's name in the "search blog" box**
♠ Bolivian Sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia). Lovely IF you have the space for a gigantic shrub.
♠ Mexican Petunia (Ruellia brittoniana)...weedy!
♠ White Buttercup- Pic posted on June 6. Lovely but becomes very weedy in the end.
♠ Spider plant...in pots it is okay, but when planted on the ground...oh boy, talk about weedy!
♠ Potato vine, the regular fast spreading ground cover sold in stores. Impossible to ever get rid of!

You're pictures are wonderful.
What camara do you use?
What region is your garden in?
Curious,
kk
Ha. Funny you would make a nice comment about the photos right below the entry of a soso photograph :-)
But I'll take the compliment anyway ☺
My camera is a Canon PowerShot
XS100.
Not the most expensive camera out there, sometimes I wish so badly for a more potent zoom, but for now all the money is going into the garden...maybe next year I'll get a better camera...but this one is wonderful for now.
If you are planning on buying a new camera, I recently read in Consumer Reports mag that they came up with a version of this Canon that is water resistant to 30 feet! So if I were in your shoes, I'd definitely research that one...
Our garden is in zone 9b-sih.
Take care & let me know if I can help you with any garden-related stuff.
