Early in the morning when we’re at our new property, I work a bit on the very overgrown landscaping around the pool. A very short bit — the heat and humidity have been unusually horrid this summer! I’m using these leather gauntlet gloves I once purchased for trimming roses — there are many sago palms on the property and they have razor-sharp edges!
The once small and blooming lantana has grown to 3 foot long branches that intertwine with each other into a huge knot. After trimming several back last week, I found another prickly pear cactus that they had completely hidden!
This is how neatly the place looked in the springtime, just before we bought the place. Apparently lantana thrives on hot, humid days with very little rainfall or watering!
