Unless you're planting flower or vegetables that grow in the winter, you shouldn't expect much out of your garden when the cold weather arrives. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a few tasks to complete at the end of summer that helps keep your garden in excellent condition for the following spring.
Betty’s Tropical Front Yard Garden
18.09.2024 - 07:03 / finegardening.com / GPOD Contributor
Hi GPODers!
Yesterday I mentioned loving the diversity in gardens that we see in Garden Photo of the Day, but there was an element that I didn’t really touch on and that is the gardeners themselves. While the different plants, designs and styles are all a joy to see and admire, it really is the gardeners themselves and the different approaches they take to the land they tend that allows for all these unique spaces and perspectives.
This is particularly evident in the submissions I receive. Some members of GPOD send lengthy paragraphs about their garden, their experience, and what working with plants means to them. Others send little to no information and simply want to show off their spectacular designs. Today’s submission is the latter, Betty Torres sent a multitude of stunning photos of her incredible front garden full of lush, tropical plants… but not much information on where she gardens or how she created these stunning beds. But no worries here, while I am itching to learn more, Betty’s beautiful garden speaks for itself.
Right away, my mind is traveling to Florida or somewhere similar with these incredible jelly palms (Butia odorata, Zones 8–10) pulling full attention, even next to radiant cannas. As an avid tree lover, anything with fabulous foliage and interesting texture is going to catch my eye.
But as you get a little closer, the finer details of this gravel bed come to life.
This incredible design of white crushed stone “spilling” out from a terra cotta pot is so fun and creative. Just like the garden structures and art we add to our gardens, there are no rules to how materials must be utilized. The ability to create shapes, patterns, and combinations is not limited to the plants we grow.
Though, Betty isn’t

How To Get Rid Of Armadillos So They Won't Destroy Your Yard
With its scaly armor, pointy ears, elongated snout, and curved claws, the armadillo is undeniably odd-looking. Belonging to the same group of mammals as sloths and anteaters, armadillos are voracious insectivores that eat large numbers of beetles, grubs, ants, termites, and other insects, grabbing them with their sticky tongues. Occasionally, they also eat small amphibians, reptiles, and their eggs.

This Easy-Growing Plant Is The Best Trick For Luring Hummingbirds To Your Yard
Want to make hummingbirds see red? Plant a firebush in your garden. Also called scarlet bush, it is not only among the easiest of plants to grow, but it also stays in bloom throughout the growing season with clusters of tubular red buds and flowers. Because the Southern growing season overlaps the spring and fall migration times of the ruby-throated hummingbird, and red is by far their favorite color, these blossoms will summon them to your garden.
