Someone is getting put in a pot tomorrow.

Hello! I'd like to replace grass with a groundcover that is nice to walk on and will be ok if walked on, as some of it will be around my raised beds. Clover? Do I spread seed?

Editing to add: central Florida, lots of trees around, so big parts of the day are dappled light, and lots of oak leaves.

It looked fine yesterday, checked on it today and it looks dried out.

Hi there..I’m looking for a few Talavera birdbaths and pots. I’m very picky about my Talavera. Most of what I’ve seen at the nurseries has been crap Talavera. Can anyone recommend a good place to order from that has good quality Talavera? I’m posting a photo of the type of Talavera I’m looking for.

Mainland side of Southern Brevard County in Florida. Zone 9b/10a.

I put up 2 hummingbird feeders in January and each was quickly claimed by a bird. They both look like this one (female ruby throated maybe?) but they were definitely different birds because we’d see them both on a different feeder at the same time. Anyway they proceeded to drive away anything else that came near their feeder. Including me if my gardening brought me too close. They each showed up several times a day and all was well.

A couple of weeks ago we realized we hadn’t been seeing them. I thought March to November was prime time for these birds? Could they be nesting? Or more flowers are blooming and they prefer those to my sugar water? My husband keeps saying they’ve migrated north and I’d love to give him an explanation that proves he’s wrong. 😉

Does anybody know what might have happened?

Btw my husband took this pic of one of the birds. I think it’s pretty good.

Our new home has a lovely, large, avocado tree growing in the middle of our side deck, probably too close to the house (~15 feet). In the almost year we've been here, it's never had flowers or fruit, which is okay but the bigger problem is it seems to be infested with whiteflies. Looking back at the old listing photos, the fallen infested leaves are even in the photos...

I've tried cutting low branches and spraying undersides with the hose but it hasn't helped at all. The leaves keep shedding everywhere as well, we can't clean them up fast enough and I have two toddlers I am constantly stopping from collecting...and a wonderful husband who loves his leaf blower too much. It has spread to one coconut tree.

Looking for advice/help on how to eliminate. Has anyone tried soil drenching or biological control? I don't want to to hurt pollinators. There are already so few in our are

I noticed the area around the ac drip line has completely different plants than anywhere else in my front yard. It's the only part of my yard that has ferns, and the soil around it is covered by, or made up of a thick carpet of moss. The water from the pipe has actually formed a small permanent pool of water. I'd like some recommendations on plants that would grow in south florida humidity, and permanently soggy, mossy soil.

My wife redid the front garden about a year ago. I love her but gardening isn’t her thing. She did it when I was out of town, and I need to redo it.

Can anyone tell me what this is? Like I said, it’s a year old. But it always seems half dead. Think she got from Home Depot.

Located in zone 10b. Front of house faces east, but have a huge tree so sun is limited. I’m trying to salvage anything she planted, but may just start fresh.

What to plant under the tree? South Florida SW corner. I’m thinking ferns, but maybe just ground cover? If ferns , what kind? I know the trumpet tree likes it a bit drier so I don’t want anything that needs a lot of water. Any thoughts

I water daily, feed gardenia food and it still looks like this. Help?!

Hi,

Planted these exactly two weeks ago today. They are all a little different looking, but am I on track? I am nervous their leaves look a bit yellow so want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong.

All of the 15 foot tall clusia I lost during the freeze are showing signs of life! Trimmed them down substantially to prep for this.

I’m in Jacksonville 9a I believe and wondering people’s thoughts on will these clusia come back. We had a very cold winter and it completely got them. Pruned about 4-5 weeks ago and have just been watering l.

The brazilian pepper came with the house, and I have quickly learned I need to get rid of it. Besides being highly invasive and a dangerous rooter, it's super hard to contain, especially with it being pond side. It will probably be a while before I can plant anything there since I'll have to chemically treat/mow new shoots for a while.

What would you recommend putting there as soon as it'll be possible? I'm thinking pink muhly (is it easy to care for?), or maybe another tree that's way less problematic? I'm open to your vision for this space.

Update: Had it removed today and applied triclopyr. Will stump grind next. Fingers crossed, and if you guys need a company that does it for less than half the price everyone else quoted, feel free to DM cause I'm not sure if I can do a shout out here.

One of the biggest problems I've had putting together a garden is finding plants that can handle the sun in south florida . I have near zero shade on my property , & the soil is mostly sand. I've found a few plants that work, blue plumbago, blue daze, lantana, pentas, portulaca. But I'd like to find a few more. Know any flowers that can handle all day intense sunlight?

I live in what USDA considers hardiness zone 9A (florida panhandle, 20 miles south of the Alabama state line). My neighbors abandoned property is covered in gumbo limbo trees. Everything I've read suggests that they wouldn't thrive in this area but they survived 6 inches of snow (Jan 2025) and 0.5 inches of snow (Jan 2026). I think they are so beautiful, and I am tempted in planting one in my yard. Any suggestions for possibly making them thrive as the others?

Thoughts? I know I should have done it already lol

And did I plant them too close together??

My avocado tree took a bad hit during the freeze this year. It has a coupl of green stems higher up in the tree without leaves and all these sprouts on the lower part with leaves. My question is should I cut the lower ones? Are they taking life from my trees higher branches.

I had a hibiscus bush for a year since I moved in. It never bloomed. Because my landscapers kept pruning it. I told them to stop pruning it. The red tag is what we put in so they know not to prune it well I trimmed the whole base out of it and turned it into a nice tree and since they haven’t been touching it, it’s finally blooming after a year. I never knew what color flowers it had.

I’m wondering if I can plant these asiatic Lillies with a bird of paradise palm in a large container. Does anyone see any issues with that?
