My gosh, I was so excited when I got the news that the vacation home was finalized! In terms of gardening it meant I would be learning how to garden in a totally different zone from our permanent home of Zone 6A. When we arrived here to finally check out what we bought almost a month and a half after signing the final papers I was overwhelmed at the work involved. It wasn't the work as in the house needed major work but more the work of shopping to stock the house. Goodness, I hate shopping at the best of times so shopping to stock a house that was basically empty was just a bit too much for me. So I'm on to learning all about gardening here. We actually have a programmable watering system!
I know I won't be planting much in the way of fruits or vegetables although I do want an orange tree. The gardens are planted to surround the house along the perimeter by about 2 feet with low maintenance shrubs and a larger garden to the front. A couple of geckos flit in and about the garden with the smaller one getting into the lanai. We've been told that a gecko in the lanai is good luck and he [actually I think a she] is rather friendly so I don't mind. A couple of gnomes have arrived to expand the Gnome Empire here. I will be posting more about my new gardens along with pictures shortly.
Happy Gardening!
