A change of season

As much as we would like to think that we can experience the four seasons of the year in South Florida, in reality, we only have two, dry and wet season.  This year our dry season lasted longer than we gardeners would like, from last December to the beginning of May the rain totals were way below normal.  In the last couple of weeks, our weather pattern changed, and the storms finally arrived.  The trick is for the wind direction to change and start blowing from the ocean (east to west) the moisture in the air guarantees daily afternoon showers.  Yesterday my garden got over two inches of rain in one day, more than I like but I am not complaining.  




The mango season is almost over, but here come the avocados, and after that the star fruits. 


Change of weather brings summer flowers, Rangoon Creeper, Kings Mantle and the aroma of the Gardenia flowers
