Thunderstorms and Garden - A Good Combo?

I think so!

We’ve had some nice t-storms over the past week here in Florida, and I have to admit, I’ve been loving it. Unfortunately my storm pictures turned out cruddy looking, but all was not lost!

I had been taking an online course with Rob Sheppard (PC Photo, Outdoor Photographer, as well as numerous books) and decided to undertake a garden remodel to go with my course. As many know gardening in Florida can be a daunting task because of the heat. So I was thrilled when the storms started rumbling!

I am still working on the front garden, have about half of it is done, but decided to share a peek at just one of the many plants going in.
