Shown here are some rose bushes that I need to dead head. I planted dwarf gold mound (duranta) a few months back and if I keep them trimmed up, they are always this electric green/yellow color. The asparagus ferm is doing well. and I pinched the patchouli cutting (shown next to the flamingo) two months ago, and it sprouted two stalks. I pinched these two stalks last week and can already see two more stalks coming from each of the existing two stalks. Search my blog for "pinching" to see what other plants you can make double their bushiness just by pinching.
I just got around to checking in on the plants. Argh, they don't look that good.
The patchouli shown below is still a winner. This is one plant for S. Florida that never looks bad. It gets water via drip irrigation every day for just a few minutes. I hack it in half twice a year. I also pick 3 ft branches to put in fresh slower arrangements. I can do no wrong to it and it always looks beautiful.The marigold to the right of the patchouli looks miserable.
The meyer and eureka lemons have produced nicely this winter. Here's what will likely become lemon bars. The brown stuff on the outside of the lemons is only cosmetic. The inside of the fruit looks and tastes ten times better than what you'd get a the store. And they're organic! YOu can see two of the eurekas to the left. They look more like traditional lemons. The myers were smaller this year and look like oranges but taste like a sweet lemon.
