Made in the Shade………..Florida Report for May 18, 2007

Spring in Florida is beautyful!! We really are getting into starting plants and flowers by seed. Our Backyard is jungle of flowers and plants…………we love it.
These were taken about a month and ahalf ago…………its getting hot
now,and a lot of these are dieing back and the seeds are being carefully
collected and put in small viles for next year. ………we will miss
their beauty.Our shade room is filled with plants and flowers………..Flowers that
like the hot steamy air……..hanging baskets hang like natures street lights…….each having there own beauty. It is so peaceful.

When I was a kid, Mom told me that the name George-meant “farmer” and it has always been my desire to plant and grow. It is a never-ending learning process. I have become truly envious of Gary and Anns Shade room. Not only are they planting and growing quantity and quality but they are making money doing it! Check out the SHADE ROOM photos in PLACES/FLORIDA and you will be amazed at what grows in Florida. It is a much different world down there. The flowers seem to be from another planet! I also love Garys photography. When he gets close-ups of the plants….I often wonder if it is a flower….or one of his Grateful Dead tyedyes!!!
