I've been in our Florida villa since the first of February and it's been interesting to see the differences in lawn care. One of the first things I noticed was the irrigation system we have installed. I didn't realize it could be weeks between short showers. In Ohio our irrigation system is called rain...and it's difficult to turn it off!
I know I'll want to grow herbs and maybe a tomato plant or two, our walled villa courtyard should be fine for a small container garden plot. Right now the courtyard is concrete and landscape stone for ease of care - I found a small metal "baker's rack" type stand to place pots on. Now I have to find a method of water flow restriction and a timer so we can hook up a drip irrigation system. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'll be going back to Ohio in June and returning in September so I'm not going to do anything right now.
Here's all I've got in the way of herbs right now....thyme & parsley
