Last week I notified my employer that I plan to retire this
summer. After fifty years of continues
employment and the last 23 years with my current employer, It's time to make my
garden my full-time job. I going to miss
my work-family and the great company I work for. I am not going to miss the early morning
waking-up and the two hours of daily commute.
My plans are to fill my days with activities and the garden will take much
of that time. But I also plan to do the things I've always wanted to do but never
had the time for it. Stay tune and find out.
This week at the DragonFly Garden
I did not have much time this past month to work outside. The weather was perfect for gardening, but the timing was never right. This weekend was dedicated to my side garden, weeding and moving plants around. These
beds were originally my vegetable garden but the location was never right for growing vegetables. Now these beds are all
about bromeliads and any other plant that can take the Florida sun in the
summer and shade in the winter.
Many tasty mangos on the way for the summer
The orange giger tree was knocked down by Irma, but is coming back.
Giant white begonias
My favorite bougainvillea
