It's Falling Spring

One common complaint this time of year in Florida is the amount of pollen in the air (and on your car)..........and it's justifiable! Darla over at http://familyandflowers.blogspot.com/ wrote a blog on pollen a couple of days ago with some pictures : http://familyandflowers.blogspot.com/2009/03/aa-aa-aaa-choo.html

But what many of you north of the Florida/Georgia line don't know is that Spring time is our Fall. Yep.....leaves everywhere! Most of our trees keep their leaves year round, but during spring new leaves sprout and knock off the old leaves. Hence.........Fall! So not only do we have pollen everywhere, but leaves as well. And I mean it's just like October in New England! Well.....maybe not quite the same!

You might be saying, "What's the big deal?" ........I'm telling you there's leaves everywhere! And it's March!

I took this picture this morning.....it looks like Autumn! And I just cleaned the leaves out of this carrot bed a few days ago.

O.K. these pics have some leaves in them, but my main reason for showing it is to show off my first ever strawberry grown.

  1. I almost posted about this also. Our Oak Trees shed twice a year and recover their leaves very quickly!! My yard is covered with leaves!! Great post.

  2. I was kind of wondering about the leaves so that explains it. Great looking strawberries, I'll be out at the u-pick field in June picking them. I make strawberry jelly every year, can't get enough of the stuff.

  3. Strawberries are awesome. I can't wait until the days return when I can pick a big bowl of fresh berries -every- day. Enjoy!!!

  5. Darla- yeah, I probably should've mentioned that in the fall they do it as well.

    Dan & SG- Just so you know....I have no idea what I'm doing with the strawberries!

    WG- I don't know what part of town you're in but I didn't get any rain here. I'm down the road from Wild Waters.

  6. I think we've finally gotten rid of all out leaves and we've got some great budding starting but man fall lasted a long time this year. Great to see another righty gardener.

  9. Yay! Strawberries! I'm hoping my strawberries made it through the winter. I'd love to have a few this spring. I'll also be adding more since a friend has offered to give me a bunch of hers when she renovates her bed this spring.

    I never realized that about your leaves falling in spring in FL! How odd!
