This year we planted quite a few flowers in the Grocery Row Gardens.

Lots of zinnia.

Sunflowers.

This little rose, which is Daisy’s, struggled in the acid grit of the Sand Pit of Death, but after transplanting it over here into the Grocery Row Gardens, it’s found new life.

We put a few different lantanas in the gardens as well. They are a bullet-proof blooming perennial in Florida and Lower Alabama.

And, as always, cannas. Edible roots, edible blooms, and some of them are good chop-and-drop plants as well.

This isn’t a bloom, but it’s beautiful! Check out this variegated cassava variety:

And last, but not least, Daisy has planted a lot of mixed cosmos in her gardens so she can save seed for her Good Gardens store. 

Happy weekend, everyone. Do something beautiful that brings joy into your life and the life of those around you!
