        What of masterpiece of character. Your garden and Darwin.

      • Re: A video tour of Tim's side garden in Columbus!

        I had to wait to get on my computer because I didn't want to see it puny on my phone. How fun. My favorite part was that I could hear chirpy crickets. The true garden experience. Now if only they could capture scent.

      • Re: Annita's garden and nurserywork in NIGERIA!

        Great submission. Beautiful work. It's always so humbling to see the challenges of other climates on gardeners and the clever ways people develop to "outsmart" natures challenges. I'm working on my skills now in the mid-Florida region and this post is really helpful. Reminds me we can make beauty anywhere. Arid. Or wet and humid. Or both in the same region.

      • Re: Darryl's garden in Tennessee, from Jeff, Day 2

        This is the kind of property that gets me excited to edit and add and love my garden again. Awesome property. Jeff, I'm building a new house and garden on a half acre in Sarasota Fl. I know, different than Tenn. But 'm planting confederate jasmine over an arbor. My question is, what time of year do I prune it? I'm a zone 9a rookie and have no experience with it. Maybe it's a miracle vine that goes exactly where I tell it, no pruning necessary? ;) ps, I have books galore on southern gardening, but none as great on maintenance tips like Tracy DeSabato Austs book for maintaining northern gardens. That's a hint. Maybe you could write a book on maintaining southern gardens.

      • Re: Midge's garden in South Carolina

        I see variegated liriope that's doing well in heat and humidity. Perhaps I'll try that in Florida and see if I have success.

        Hard to believe all that beauty is from one garden. Just wonderful.

        Too late for this year but now I'm inspired for next year. Thanks Jeff.

        As usual Jeff, spectacular!
