Foliage Follow-Up

Foliage Follow-Up is hosted monthly by Pam Penick. 

 Stop on over at  Digging to see her amazing garden. 

I  am new to blogging and anxious to participate in the fun.

 

I live in the city of the Hippo.  In December I picked up this little pot while in Lima, Peru.  It is a fun addition to my front porch succulents.

In the back yard

 

 I grow mostly herbs, vegetables and fruit.  My husband is from Peru.  I am a California native that has lived as far south as Sao Paulo, Brazil and as North as Seattle, WA.  I have reserved a space on my patio for tropical plants reminiscent of my mother in laws amazing yet small porch garden.
