Here's the Daily Plot of temperatures for September 2013

Pics of my "tropical" New York City yard. I am in a USDA gardening zone 7 and I use plants that are hardy to our winters, are easy to overwinter indoors, or use as annuals to get the tropical look this far north. Please ask for my permission and give me credit if you use any of my pics! Thanks for looking!

Passiflora "Berkley" about to make the first bloom of the season.
I thought I lost this Mexican Petunia over the winter, but I potted up the roots anyways to see what would happen. It ended up growing back without a problem! Every single plant that I thought died over the winter ended up coming back eventually.
Thanks for looking!
Potted Livistona pic.
I rarely take pics of this palm, but it makes a nice potted plant. I've had it for about 3 years now. It always gets sun damage in the spring, but makes a full recovery by this time of the year.
