Florida is Beautiful-and Dry, Very Dry

From A Garden Journal, Diary of Ilona’s Garden

Looks like Ohio is getting everyone’s rain, but saw the terrible news about the tornadoes. I can only imagine the rainforest-like conditions that await me at home. Hopefully my little tomato plants are surviving- I left them protected by clay drain pipe, which is how I always plant them at the beginning. It protects them from wind and sunscald, and I haven’t had cutworm problems for the time I’ve used this method.

I might just get the veggie garden ready and plant for the second part of the season.

They have some pretty flowers blooming here, but not sure what they are, yet. The fields look pretty sad, but since I’m unfamiliar with how they are supposed to look it is unclear how sad they are!

Can’t seem to upload the photo card to the laptop, so I won’t post pictures until I’m back. At least I have a home to return to- our prayers are with those who don’t at this time.
