pensacolagarden, your tomato's look great for this time of year in Florida. I just planted "inferno something or other"...supposed to be very heat tolerant and "indeterminate vs determinate ', so I hope to extend the crop for a bit. My White Eggplant and purple and red peppers as well as sweet banana pepper's are still doing well. And I have enough Cucumber's that I'm making every Cold Cucumber Soup Recipe I can find !
Prita, I have several new beds I'm building, I will try to post pictures of. I could use some suggestions for front of a shady border, low, flat, spreading. I'd love more Hosta's, lost alot of them last winter. Actually all but one.
I'm almost ready to give up on the Brug's. They just aren't growing well, and every time I turn around something has chewed them. I have so much that is Butterfly/Hummer friendly, both host and nectar, I'm very hesitant to use chemicals.
Was at Lowe's today and picked up a Kanagroo Paw half price ! I've been looking at them but refused to pay $16.00 for the pot. $8.00 YUP, it came home with me and there's enough in the pot to divide it already.
I haven't grown Castor Bean plant....have to put that one on my list.

Candy Corn Plant..Cuphea micropetala
