Yes I am ALL over your blog today, as you can see! Was wondering…do you know any bloggers you can connect me to who live in more ‘wintery’ climates year-round? (I’m trying so hard to grow things up here in Alaska, and with my black thumb as it is, well let’s just say it’s becoming cheaper to buy the produce than to grow it! For example – 6 pea plants purchased, got 1/2 cup of peas. Total. All summer.) Thanks! On a related note…could I grow any of this stuff inside, do you think?

I’ve always wanted it but never actually gotten any. When I finally plant in a forever-home, I’ll definitely include a lot of wisteria. =)

You’re so lucky to have it everywhere!

Down here, it’s wisteria that sprawls and vines all over the place. Most people find it to be a menace (it’s aggressively invasive), but it’s one of my favorite things about the South. And when it blooms! I’m as hypnotized as the bumble bees that flock to my wisteria tree.

I’ve been giving it lots of fertilizer and amendments, to hopefully this summer I’ll get some fruit!

The tree died & I flipped the plant over a bird bath where it went crazy, eventually making its way into the compost bin and that’s where the thing eventually fruited. They need a LOT of rich soil & water, unlike other cacti. This is a really good site http://tastylandscape.com/2013/05/19/how-to-get-dragon-fruit-cactus-to-bloom/

I just let the sweet potatoes roam all over the garden but we end up mostly eating the leaves because I don’t seem to get very big tubers.

Can you grow pineapples there? They’re so easy! And malabar spinach is so pretty.

It’s all about the houseplants! They bring a lot of warmth and life. ♥
