Sadly, none of the photos showed up. I'm just guessing, but - you must use heaps of mulch to keep such a set of heavy feeders happy and thriving.

What happens when you need to thin back the cannas and dahlias?

Heres a second try at the pictures. I use various citrus as part of my landscape since i dont have room to plant them in rows. These pictues were taken during the last week of November and the first of December. Most of my citrus are begining to set flower buds right now, and i have a mature harvest of key limes, meyer lemons and honey murcott mandarins. Not pictures here, i have a tropical pink guava and a tropic white guava that i have eaten fruit from last year. They were damaged this past January by an arctic blast, but have recovered and i will hopefully have juicy guavas this summer.
