Welcome

Welcome to my blog! This will be about my experiences as a first time gardener, and all the trials and errors along the way.

A little bit about my surroundings. I am in the Tampa, Florida area, where its hot and wet. I'm working with a pretty blank slate, with not much in the way of old growth. However, I have made a few small improvements along the way.

My favorite area is the pond. It has been a major work in progress, but its starting to come together.

I have Red Fountain Grass, White Fountain Grass, Brazilian Red Hots, Aztec Grass, Cannas, Zinnias in a container, and Mini-Catail and a Water Lily in the pond.

I have a large area of Cannas that came with the house.

Finally, I have a small butterfly garden.

I have Pentas, Butterfly Weed, Lantana, Plumbago, Mexican Petunia, and Bromeliads

As soon as I learn about how to use this site I will post some more pictures and updates. I'm very excited to start sharing my journey with everyone!
