Thanks Elaine, our yard is maintained by an hoa but a CDD maintains the perimeter around the lake. The weeds were 5' - 6' in some areas. When residents complained the CDD wacked the very tallest weeds and said they would clean up the rest when we were out of growing season. Baffled I'm thinking plants grow here 12 months out of the year. Just an excuse to put off the clean up. We have been getting nice fresh veggies from the local farmers market. My gardening passion in MO was container gardening with tropicals & annuals. Sadly I decided I am not willing to take care of containers in the Florida heat. Right now every day is like vacation and I still need to GPS every where I go. I did bring a few of my very favorite talavera containers just in case I change my mind.
