Bwahaha! I gave up on keeping things manicured in winter except for one bed on the front of the house where I always put little annual color and few pots. Other than that things go dormant and look "wintery" ugly and it's ok. The more excitement when Spring starts sprouting. meanwhile I get a nice surprise here and there to make my heart happy and be ok with supplying the tort pantry from the farmers' market. Btw you guys made me start missing banana plants, I thing I'm getting one to put in the babies' new enclosure areaWinter Gardening at the Beach isn't pretty, so I don't do much of it anymore I wait for spring when everything will wake up. A pic of some sleeping banana trees.View attachment 163014 These new spineless opuntia are working hard to grow strong roots.View attachment 163017
