Coming Walk In Our Garden








































 




























































Hope you have enjoyed the fall tour.   This 
is those of you can't visit.  As you can see
this is what keeps me sort of busy.  Soon this
will all disappear.

Teaching Myself To Clone!!












Media ready! 

8/24/2021

I took 5 of the dish and started two with 
pollen, 2 with special abutilon seeds and 
1 with Clematis 'Crispa' seeds.

8/30/2021

I have taken a few dishes of D. Missouri 
Marble cuttings.  One of stems and 4 of leaf
cuttings.   I have also taken cuttings of 
H. Summer Carnival and the variegated
Rose of Sharon.  

A big Thank you to 'Nathan' whom stopped
by yesterday and for his advice.  I have dumped
the first three pollen dishes due to mold and 
over heat while in the greenhouse.  I'm just
learning and will be setting up the lights in
the house before starting to move plants.

9/2/2021

Finished taking plant material and used up the 
last of my containers.  This was so much fun.

Golf Course Carts Cursing the Hood

 This evening I told a group of kids cruising 
the streets  in one purple cart it was illegal 
to drive them on public roadways before 
picking up my bucket and going in to call 311.  

Shortly afterwards their parents show up 
and what was stated was so off base.  
Excuse me, it is out of character of me 
to flip off a 14 year old.  Lie, strike one!
Strike two, it's against the law to drive 
them on a Public Roadway according 
to the Sheriff  deputy we talked to.  
Strike three, do not come to our home 
again and walk up like you own it because 
you walked by the no trespassing signs.
Strike four,  NO Mask when it's mandated.
Strike five, no appointment!

Your kid lied to you!!  'You' do not own
the Neighborhood as you put it because there
are well over 7,000 citizens in Felida and your 
attitude to elderly folks was priceless.

Glad to know you know a Sheriff deputy, 
maybe they can advise you of the law?



There are other ways your kids can have 
fun.  Ya know if they have an accident, 
you are liable as your kids are under age!  

Welcome to the Hood.  How long have 
you lived here??

By the way, we have video cameras and 
our proof I didn't flip them off!


When we ran back the video more
was spotted.   The first trip at 5:16pm
the cart it appeared the one kid was 
teaching the young lady how to drive.  
The male was the son of the folks that 
showed up at our door.  




















Again the cart appeared on NW 33 Avenue
at 5:16  before they again appeared 
at 6:46 as I was out deadheading the 
front curb flower bed.   One of the kids
when I told them it was illegal to drive the
cart on a Public roadway got off the back of
the cart and walked away.   Smart kid!!
The driver got out of the cart and was 
seen on his cell phone. 

At 7:10 these folks showed up at our door
unannounced.  Ya know them??

Chocolate when she blooms I'll post her.
Almost there.
