The best part about gardening is that it is never over. The passage of time brings new rewards. So as I watched the much needed rain fall yesterday, I couldn’t help but walk out and transport myself to some sort of exotic tropical rainforest…ok, not really, but close to it with my North Carolina tropical garden–full of hibiscus, Bear’s breeches, a banana tree(thanks Kristen) hedge begonias, mexican petunias and more.
Check out this mini video tour of my NC Tropical garden.
Remember when I couldn’t commit…remember my vision video post….well look at me now. How about you…have you made some progress you want to share? Let us know.
Happy Gardening.

You go, girl. The tropical garden looks great and I think it’s important to note that you had a very small budget and stuck too it–using what you had and donated, swaped plants.
Very proud of you. Chris

Thanks Chris…it feels good. I really was able to overcome my fear through knowledge…and i would say to all newbies out there…you really don’t have to have this mystical green thumb…just a little know how, some great garden friends, like our readers here, and some patience.
Dig on!
