This is Rosinweed. We discovered this interesting native plant 2 years ago at a garden center and are now growing it for ourselves. It is a cousin to sunflowers, and excellent nectar food for pollinators. (also good cut flowers) We have a few nice plants loaded for this week's market. They are just setting their buds and Fall is a good time to get them established. Ours survived the Feb freeze- they are hardy.
Don't forget our big selection of hot peppers, culinary herbs, lemon grass, papaya trees and Porterweed. Cranberry Hibiscus and Sorrel are looking good, too. Stop by and shop with us on Sat or Sun 9-2 @ 11050 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont

The Giant Milkweed is ready. This is the milkweed that Monarch butterflies use for caterpillar food in the Caribbean islands. It grows well in Central Florida, and most of our local plants recovered from the bad February freeze. The shrub gets BIG- it can grow to 10'. The leaves are grey-green and quite thick. It will feed quite a few baby caterpillars after other milkweeds are eaten down. They flower in either white or lavender, and we have both available this week.
We also have quite a few hot peppers, lemon grass, Cranberry Hibiscus and our beautiful blue Butterfly peas. Lots of plant choices!

It has been a year since we posted about our Blue Porterweed. It is one of the most dependable perennials for pollinators and usually in full bloom in August. Keep in mind that it will get big-maybe 4', so give it plenty of room in the garden. If you grow it, the butterflies will come.
We have quite a few great plants on board for this weekend- Cranberry Hibiscus, Jamaican Sorrel, lemon grass, 8 kinds of hot peppers, milkweed, culinary herbs, vegetable plants and annual flowers.

Oh, sweet Butterfly pea... a real customer favorite! Beautiful deep blue flowers on vigorous climbing vines. They are able to climb 10-15' in a season, easily covering a trellis or fence area. The colorful flowers can be used to make blue tea, or natural food coloring. We are growing a nice double blue variety, and a single lavender, and coming soon- double white. Quite a few are loaded up for this weekend's sales "on the hill".
Also, this week, we have a large selection of hot peppers and the lemon grass is awesome. Of course, herbs and annuals are in good supply.

Today's post doesn't showcase plants... it shines a light on Moose. Most of our followers who have shopped with us "on the hill" are aware of our brown Border Collie. He watches everything from the doorway of our camper. Although he is pretty shy, he does have a few special friends- both human and canine. He had a birthday this past week and turned 10. He is a senior boy now, but he is a beautifully trained working stock dog, so when he is home at the farm, he is ready to herd our sheep.
When you stop by to shop this weekend, if he isn't watching from the doorway, ask for him... he's probably resting inside in the AC- we'll be glad to call him out...and of course, we need to remind everybody that we have quite a few interesting flowers and herbs loaded up on our sales wagons. So, after you've petted Moose, check out what's for sale. Sat and Sun 9-2 @ 11050 Lakeshore Drive, Clermont.
