I'm a casual gardener: I mostly plant what I like when I have the chance to take care of it. It looks as though a lot of my stuff will end up dead from our freeze in February, which has had me kind of down.

However, I just got what is great news for me: I love blue butterfly Clerodendrum. To me the flowers look like little fairies dancing around. Unfortunately, it's a little tetchy to this zone and I lost mine last winter. The good news is that my brother just sent me a picture of the seedling he had grown for me, and I'm tickled to tears! I'm going to wait a couple more weeks to plant it just in case. (The second photo is a branch from my previous plant.)

I think the worst gardner's mistake is in planting more than they can maintain (voice of experience)! Sounds like you're off to a good new start 👩🌾

I agree. It's one of the reasons I don't do planters anymore. We have a really long, hot season here, and all it takes to do in a year's work is to miss a few days of attention.

I managed to overwinter some pequin pepper plants that I am slowly starting to harden , you're welcome to one if you'd like.

You are so sweet, Glenn, thank you! Unfortunately, I can't eat spicy peppers so they'd be wasted on me. 😔 How did that beautiful rosemary plant do?

@Lauren It had some freeze damage, but it looks like it is trying to put out blooms. I need to do a major trim on it this year to kind of shape it up, so if you need any rosemary, it's free for the asking.

I made almost 2,5 quarts of hot sauce from one plant last year, but it is way too hot for me. It is a pretty plant and a perennial.

@glennlab I would love some rosemary, thank you!

@Lauren It looks like I'll be doing it sooner rather than later, the last couple days have shown a lot more damage than I thought, the leaves are still pungent though.

@glennlab I'm sorry. The damage at my place seems to be worse every time I look. I'm going to dive in and try to do some work this weekend. I guess it's understandable when it got so cold, so long.

What is it?

Never mind.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
