For anyone on the east coast of Florida, near Ft. Pierce this weekend; (October 19-20)....this is a real nice exhibition...and it's free. You won't find lower cost veggies already started...and our Bonsai collection is said to be the largest in the U.S.
....and for you Spelling/grammar astute out there...yes, refreshments is misspelled....
You are still having garden events at this time of year ! ENVY.
Gardening pauses for the intensely hot summers down here in Florida; it's just getting started now (October)...the farm fields are just now planting veggie crops (beans, tomatoes, etc) although Mexico and California still have a big corner on the "winter vegetable" crops.
Posted by FernappleThe vegetable plot has nearly reached its peak now.

Posted by FernappleMy pink Buddleja, Butterfly Bush, looks great, especially against the dark red Acer.
Posted by FrostyJim...when the wind blows!
Posted by FernappleIt is time for the flowering of one of my favourite roses.
Posted by FrostyJimBerries do very well in Alaska... I'm growing strawberries, honeyberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and black currants ...oh and rhubarb too - it goes well with berries in a pie, jam, or cobler!
Posted by FrostyJimSo that's how it works...
Posted by FrostyJim...why didn't I think of that?
Posted by FernappleIts the time for one of my favourite flowers, Primula florindae, the giant cowslip to flower. The cinnamon scent fills the garden on warm days.
Posted by FrostyJimIt's almost salad season. It is amazing how fast my salad greens grow in just 3 weeks since setting out my seedlings in our long Alaska summer days...
