The latest pics from the “England in Florida” garden in Tampa Bay. I’ve increased seeding in winter, which has helped cut down on pot-grown nursery plants. Next year, we’ll add more natives!
We’ve got Mini-beckia (rudbeckia, with the coppery centers), regular pure yellow rudbeckia, salvia h. for the bees, coreopsis (both the airy native Leavenworth’s & nursery red-centered), a pink mallow I’ve lost the name of (seed), blanketflower, blue daze, ilex ‘Schillings’ (the boxwood-like shrub, native), and more! The seed-to-nursery-bought ratio is almost even now.
I’m very pleased with this garden — aside from weeding every few weeks & two seasonal plantings/clean ups, it doesn’t need much.
