Get a chameleon. They love hibiscus. We have slightly different perennial hibiscus varieties in the colder climate but they really do bloom like crazy.

Chameleon's don't do well here. Too hot. I get tons of lizards running around though. Love those things.

I think yellow and whitish varieties grow well in other places. It's too hot for many of those to make it through a summer here. I've lost a few pink Hibiscus plants in the heat of summer, but the red ones grow amazing here and bloom most of the year.

Wow, looks fantastic! How are your tomatoes doing?

We had our first hibiscus bloom this week after setting them back out.

We now have fresh radishes and Lettuce. Garden is doing great.


Trees have been loving the rain.

Garden has been going nuts for the past month.

Once we get deep into May, it will come crashing down with the heat.

Here was today's haul alone. First time growing green beans. Called Kentucky Wonder. I provided a 4' tomato cage for them to climb and they got to the top in about a month. I realize they need about 7-8' of growing height and was hoping they'd grab the concrete wall behind where they grow, but they aren't doing that. Next year I'll place a 7' trellis behind the tomato cage to extend their growth. Either way, they are fantastically long beans!
