After a long cooler than usual winter, we are having our Florida spring with leaves coming down as well as pollen. I suppose it gets it all over in one season!
We changed the front yard to native plants and pine (!) mulch. No growing ground cover yet as we still have to go after the strays bits periodically. But much less yard work in the front and we like it visually! Plus the wildlife should like it and we like butterflies, etc.
Left and right views of our back yard. Rubber tree stump is still there, but working on that. I think a lemon tree will go into that area. The banana tree on the right, far right, looks like it will produce again. We had bananas growing in October, but the frost of Nov/Dec put the brakes on that. The grapefruit tree produced this year and I am enjoying a fruit after yard work every day, trying to clear the tree so the flowers that are setting get their full attention.
