Garden Pic Wednesday: December Gerbers!
I saw my new young Bell Pepper plants both had an open blossom, so I did the job of bees with a paint-brush to cross-pollinate them today. It's cool-warm-sunny today, being about 58 F here in northwest Florida. It's expected to about 70 F on Christmas Day. There are honeybees around--if it's gets warm enough. There's a neighbor within 5 miles of us with bee boxes who sells honey. Today's Garden Pic is one I just took today of these red-orange Gerber Daisies in my front bed! Great seasonal color for December! There's a 3rd head hidden under the leaves yet, plus a yellow and pink have heads up, preparing to open. Oddly, they flourish here during the mild temperatures of Nov & Dec----and if the cold doesn't get too cruel for too long, sometimes all the way into spring! Enjoy! Stop back to see what's up for Mama Kat tomorrow!
