When I visit your blog, I realize you're in a warm climate, yet somehow it doesn't seem typical "Florida." I've been there many times, visiting relatives, and I'm always in awe of the colorful native flowers, but most of what I see in the way of personal Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-21806214053418360852007-12-05T07:42:00.000-05:002007-12-05T07:42:00.000-05:00sg: red impatiens will perk up your baskets nicely...sg: red impatiens will perk up your baskets nicely in the spirit of Christmas. My thinking IS much like doing a floral arrangement when I tend to my containers... hmmm...

Florida gardening is so radically different from Nova Scotia, and I've never been there either--but I feel already, after just looking at a couple of your posts and reading your thoughts, that I'm learning lots about gardening in the sunshine state. If you need some snow....we're getting lots tonight!<BR/><BR/>I've added your blog to my list, and hopeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-26309151257694807712007-12-03T21:14:00.000-05:002007-12-03T21:14:00.000-05:00I like the Christmas look.

I love the way you rearrange your planters, like an everchanging floral vase. I must get out to the garden shop and buy some poinsettias too. Like you said, so colorful and cheery. I did pick up some red impatiens today, to put into a couple of hanging baskets. We also got some outside lights and trimmingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
