New Orleans Weather is almost Tropical, Growing things green is easy!

    New Orleans rarely gets cold but can get hot. You do not need a large sapce to grow things but small areas.  I guess that is why courtyards were developed to contain the growth and manage nature. Once we hit Feburary it time to think Spring. The leaves fall sometime in December and many time the new leaves are soming as the old leaves are falling. We do have seasons like hot, hotter and cool.  However humid cool can easily become cold. 

   Weather in South Louisiana is great for growing things.  Plants, insects and fish are all included.  However I fool with the plant part.  Most of the time you never have to water here with 60 plus inches of rain per year.  You rarely have to worry about freezing during the day.  Snow comes every 20 years or so, the most was in 1964 so its been a while. 

     This blog has little to do with New Orleans condos but you can grow some great plants in your condo with a little care, light and light food.  These are plants in my yard in no orgainzed way.  I can always find new plants when I show homes and can trade them with other backyard growers. You can always tie this in with photos to tie the hobbies togeather. 

    Read beneath the line so you too can enjoy some of my plants.   When business slows there is always something to do.

I have learned to plant plants that can take the summer heat.  By about the end of May most don't look so good.

The only thing good about the weather we have here in New Orleans today and tomorrow is the plants.
