Garden Pic Wednesday: Marigold & Zinnia
It's the heat of Florida summer. The squirrels are cobbing cones and tossing the cores down on the ground, creating a litter of shrimp-looking cores to pick up before mowing. I've been getting things done by working where it's shady for not more then an hour. The big Gardenia out front shade-covered yesterday and I worked on just hedging a portion on the side away from the mid-morning sun. Two portions are done; two more to go. It's a big shrub. Today, I mowed heavily shaded grass along the front side-wall--after picking all the pine cobs. Todays pics are of a standard Marigold and a Zinnia from the front bed out by the mailbox:
