I live in Central Florida on the East coast. I'm originally a Brooklyn (NY) girl with a great love of plants. When my hubby and I re-located to Tamarac in South Florida 20 years ago, I had close to 150 houseplants. We packed them up in cartons and stuffed them in the stationwagon and drove them down. Didn't lose a one. Then 14 years ago, we moved up to Palm Bay, and had to bring them up. My son put most of them in his pick-up truck. The scheflera, ficus, plumeria and few other very large plants ended up denuded. Lost all their leaves. They survived and now I'm mostly into hoya, plumeria, and some succulents. I had a nice cactus garden, but weeds took over when I was working 50+ hours a week. The weeds were the last thing I wanted to see. I rescued a few in small pots and they are in the screened-in pool area.
I've enjoyed finding out who everyone is. Keep it going.!!!
P.S. also have a dog, Shanghaii, who is 2 years old.
