Jupiter Farms, it's time for bonfires!!

Few things make it seem more like fall than the smell of burning leaves.  Here in Jupiter Farms, where we don't have any choking HOA restrictions we can enjoy a great fire in the backyard.  And there's nothing like a big bonfire on a cool, fall night.

Homes in Jupiter Farms sit on lots of 1.25 acres and more so there are no neighbors to complain about your fire.  In fact, my neighbor to the east builds much bigger fires on cold nights than I do.  My neighbor on the west likes to burn leaves so you can often smell his fires during the afternoon.

With bonfire season upon us, we now start watching for people cutting down dead trees and moving them to the street for pickup.  We mostly see pine trees at the street but they burn very quickly.  If I stumble upon an oak tree cut up and at the street I almost always bring this wood home.  It burn slowly so the fire doesn't need as much tending.

And since there are HOA rules, you can have any wildlife here you might like such as chickens, ducks, geese, horses or goats...and we have them in Jupiter Farms.

Jupiter Farms homes, the cavendish banana adds a tropical touch

Homes in Jupiter Farms are sometimes lacking a tropical touch.  Sure we have lots of land.  The properties here are 1.25 acres or more but mostly pines and palmettos.  One way to add a quick, tropical touch is to add the dwarf, Cavendish banana.

Cavenish banana

This smaller cousin of the taller, commercial species is a great addition to the landscapes.  True enough, it produces edible bananas.  But the real attraction is the quick habit of growing large, tropical leaves.  And since it doesn't require much space is perfect close to the house.

This clump is growing near my Jupiter Farms home.  So how do you get a clump started?  Well, check the local big box stores during the summer.  Or support your local, small nursery.  If they don't have them, they can get them.  Plant and water....that's it!
