Hey SW, you should try growing pineapples! I had them years ago in my greenhouses and they were so much better tasting when ripened on the plant, so sweet, no acid bite. Just keep the top of a pineapple you eat. When you cut it off, cut down into the core so you have like a cone of it. Let that dry out completely in a cool place. When the bottom leaves have turned brown, gently pull them off and you will see roots have started their way downwards. Then plant it!!
Beautiful Clematis surfcity! I LOVE blue and I have a horrid chain link fence all along the backside of the property. A clematis would be lovely there.
Part of my front fence is being covered in another one of my favorites, Plumbago. The Tiger Swallowtail butterflies just love it.. This isn't the clearest photo, still getting used to this new camera.
