Darren, you're officially my hero.

I pass the botanical gardens in Largo 6 days a week on my way to one of the beach properties I clean/manage, yet I've never gotten to stop by before.

Sunday is my day off, and it looks like I'll definitely be taking a ride out there.

Be sure to visit the spice garden, that was an unexpected treat for me today.

Good luck.

BTW, Rangoon Creeper is on the bridge directly opposite the hort. ext. office.

Thanks for the advice. My first order of business will be checking up on the vendors and see who decided to take part. Already arguing with myself over how much cash I'll bring this time around.

With the cold weather bound to hit us soon, I'm a bit hesitant to purchase anything, but I can't pass up a plant sale.

I really need to get involved with trades and exchanges one of these days and see about saving some coin.

i'll be there too. That Rangoon Creeper is the reason I planted my own...althought mine isn't doing well with the salty sprinkler water it gets. McKay Creek keeps theirs looking great..those plants need a lot of water.

Foreverlad, hope you win the argument, hahahaha.

Tina, what is Mckay Creek? Sorry, never heard of it before. Google has too many responses.

Darren

Its a creek that runs through pinellas county. It forms the backbone of the botanical gardens and the lakes in Walsingham Park. It is full of pollutants according to the people who measure that stuff. See link:

Here is a link that might be useful: McKay Creek

Thanks Tina. Yeah, it is not surprising knowing where that water travels to see that. Walsingham Park/Lake look surprisingly good even though it is park of that Creek.
