Florida Gardening: Yeah, we got bugs in Florida, 2 by Wyckoff

That is so surprising!

A couple of years ago, there were a few gaillardia a couple of houses south in our neighborhood. They migrated north and we have been letting them take over our front yard. My husband mows only about half the front now.

Our yard is high, dry scrub in the front. There are no tall trees for shade. We don’t water it. We’re letting the gaillardia take over because the grass is mostly dead and the gaillardia stays green.

We mow it in the fall after the plants die back and that spreads the seeds for next year.

We’ve had a few all yellow flowers show up. The peruvians are in the middle - not blooming and doing well.
