The Winter Garden.....

So, my holiday cacti(Thanksgiving and X-mas;>) that survived this Summer are Blooming are just starting. They're 2 months LATE! Yet, it's not even a week into January and my 1st Daffodil has opened! The Fall blooming Sage is finishing up and most else has gone Dormant. Every yr in every way the weather and the resultant Botanical growth gets weirder...and I've been Growing in the area off-n-on since the early 90's.
I've een Tree Frogs that haven't gone Torpid yet.
I think I'm not going to add anything to the gardens this yr. I've plenty of seeds to take care of the open bits and certainly enough perennials to divide and fill the rest. Next month I'll put a note on our area online community to see if anyone wants starts of both Common and Black Galangal as well as Yellow Turmeric. The latter is WAY vigorous;>! The Black G's a relative of the Peacock Ginger so it makes a nice groundcover and the Turmeric ha a lovely form. The best I can say about Common G is that it has lovely lacy blossoms...when it DOES bloom;>!
Cheers,
Pat
