The change in the season with winter approaching, and it’s very dry at the moment for the garden.

OK , you showed us yours , I’ll show you mine!😂 After watering , I took a walk about the garden . I even wandered down the hill. Our rainfall this year has really helped a lot of our plants. An early warm spell , minus the wind , was a bonus. HarryIMG_4856.thumb.jpeg.dec4d34dfc60e4b839213a34bde87087.jpeg

This Sabal is a mystery . It was a very small seedling when I planted it . It’s either a Palmetto or Riverside . It was a gift and the grower lost some tags .IMG_4873.thumb.jpeg.e85c15d59eafe75c6b2b8acca2a26818.jpeg

One last look up through the Mediterranean Fan palm before heading up to the deck. Believe it or not I have recently cut over 50 fronds off this thing. No suckers ever produced from it but , man , tons of fronds. Harry
