I finished reading a book this week named Rambunctious
Garden by Emma Marris, this book is about the footprint humanity has put on our
planet and how it has changed what we today call nature. Going back to pristine ecosystems, the ways
things were before humans put their fingerprints on the land, is not only
costly, but it is also impossible to replicate. The author tells us that we should see nature in our
surroundings, from our personal gardens, to the landscape in our highways and the
weeds growing in abandon buildings.
Rambunctious is the perfect word to describe my garden;
there is no order to it. I believe in
mixing plants, trees and creating habitat for wild life. So at the end of the day, you can call my
garden a rambunctious contribution to nature in Miami.

This week at the DragonFly garden.
This weekend I worked on the patio next to the house,
the Mexican flame vine was getting old and tired, it need it a hair cut, I also
pressured cleaned the pavers and straight it out my storage shed.

I think that's the best kind of garden and the birds really do love it. My storage area always ends up looking like that, too. We have to wait another 3 weeks before trimming anything back in case of a late freeze - the worst kind. We've had a warmer than normal winter, so hopefully we'll slip by. I do believe our winters are turning into your winter in S. Florida. Has yours been warmer than normal?
