Well, it's official, my Crimson Sweet Watermelons have taken over my yard and they're starting to make their way into the grass. I really hope that I get some delicious watermelons soon. More updates later. :)


I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! It was nothing but rain here in Miami and it's supposed to continue throughout the week. It's no fun because it keeps you in the house but my garden is really loving the humidity, heat and inches and inches of rain it's getting.


A few weeks ago I found 2 beautiful rain lilies in my front yard, growing randomly in the grass. They were so pretty that I dug them up and transplanted them into a small ceramic pot. The blooms went away but after all of this rain, they opened back up. They tend to stay open for about 2 days. They have such beautiful light pink and white petals, they're very delicate looking, beautiful flowers. Yesterday, I found 11 more growing along the side of my house where it usually gets weed whacked which must be why they were just discovered. I am going to replant them all in a better suited place. They look best in bunches as it is.
Hopefully the weather will clear up enough and dry up enough so I can get out there and do some much needed maintainence on my flowers. :)
