Winter has finally made it to Florida and I couldn't be happier! It's been so warm here, unlike much of the U.S., I thought we'd have another winter less year. Last year was so mild, none of my fruit trees or bushes produced except for my Sunraycer nectarine-that tree went from a 1/2" caliper to a two inch caliper in one season and put on almost 10' of growth! It gave me eight deliciously sweet nectarines and is already starting to blossom. I shouldn't have let it produce since it was in it's first year, but I have a feeling this tree can handle it.
Right now, my kitchen breakfast nook is filled with plants waiting out the cd weather. The cats love it- it's like their own personal jungle! Here's the oldest cat, Phoebe, checking out some tomato transplants that are, patiently, waiting for warmer weather so they can go outside.
These were purchased from HD after the last freeze a few weeks ago. They were marked down to .50 each. Guess the store thought they wouldn't make it. A little TLC and sea kelp fertilizer and they are good to go!
Hope everyone is staying warm!
We got a little skiff of snow last night. I can see it out in the garden on the bare soil, but it wasn't enough to show up on the grass or the street. Your tom plants look good and healthy! I'll have some looking like that.....in about three months, LOL.
