Hypertufa pots would be perfect for your succulents!<br /><br />Missy:<br />I know what you mean, though you really can't beat a $5 guava tree!<br /><br />Shellbelle:<br />I saw your beach finds on your blog! If you really want to find some shells and seaglass, check out mickler's landing beach just south of ponte vedra. It is worth the drive! You might like my "beachcombing for gardeners" post that I did a week or so ago.<br />Oh, and thanks for telling me about the red okra. Good to know!<br /><br />NanaK:<br />You can count on it! There's only so much inspiration to provide from the garden and my balcony, so why not promote small businesses and share some great ideas in the process?<br /><br />Floridagirl:<br />I can say that I would prefer living in the boonies, but it is really nice to live close to family. We've visited your area of FL and it really is the perfect sort of place to live. I guess that one good part of city life is not having to drive so far, but even just visiting my parents and The Rainforest Garden still takes 30-40 minutes. :(Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-45797357564571246302010-10-27T09:05:14.701-04:002010-10-27T09:05:14.701-04:00Ugh.

There was a time when I searched and searched for such an animal, though they are coming out my ears now. You are quite lucky to have access to such a large city, though. What great shopping opportunities. But what am I saying? Been there, done that, didn't like it. I now live in the boonies, in a land of farms, citrus groves, and even a couple of wholesale nursery growers, but we just don't have that kind of variety down here. Strangely, we have to drive a great distance to hit a farmer's market or flea market. Of course, mom-and-pop fruit stands are found everywhere.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-25809557499716137792010-10-27T07:45:57.949-04:002010-10-27T07:45:57.949-04:00What a nice market to have in your local area.

Friendly folks and lots of goodies at good prices. I bought some red okra, something I've never seen before, but was disappointed it turned green when cooked. The bread from that baker is delicious!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-57898313852438551182010-10-27T00:15:20.096-04:002010-10-27T00:15:20.096-04:00What a great place to shop, and every Saturday.

With such an assortment I'd be spending whatever cash I had with me, so maybe it's lucky I live so far away.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940119240313980400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-42925761021887930832010-10-26T22:55:05.171-04:002010-10-26T22:55:05.171-04:00Oh, man...I can't believe you got there with n...Oh, man...I can't believe you got there with not enough cash!
