Taking Time Off

 

Due to loosing our youngest sister

early today, it's time to grieve and

take time for our loss.  Condolence

to her sons and their family.

These past few days I have really 

enjoyed this Clematis and know

my sister is at peace.

Clean Windows!! NOT

 I have to clean our window every 

couple months due to the neighbors

to the north has a fire pit!

There is no development around us

so this isn't dirt.   It gets so bad

that one can't open the window as

they stick.  The glass gets a frosty

film coat.

This is just after one window!

It takes a Mr. Clean Magic

Eraser to clean the track.

They are clean and one can

enjoy the garden from them!!

7/30/2023

Three times  today we have 

had to deal with smoke from 

the north neighbor's fire pit. 

I'm getting tired of our home

smelling of smoke!  My plants

smell of smoke and their trees

are dying due to all their burning.

I guess they didn't learn anything

when the last couple trees came

down onto their house?   You should

see the mess we deal with from their

tree debris dropping into our yard. 

Now you know why I have to see

the allergist and the eye doctor every

6 month for my not breathing and 

my AMD is getting worse.

Not only smoke but Fireworks!!

Yep the laws don't pertain to 

certain folks.

Pretty In Pink!!!

 Not talking about Barbie!!

Highlight from today in the garden!

As she fades the pink turns pale pink.  What a 

beautiful lily!  Very fragrant!!

Surprise!!

 

Watch me grow!!

This morning I noticed babies are coming

up!!

I think it's time for a bigger pot!  So far I have

found 3 babies!!

Double Hollyhocks

 Enjoy!!

Clematis Cut Back!

 Monday our temps cool 

down so I decided it was 

time to cut the clematis 

collection back so that

I could have some fall 

blooms.

Tuesday was my day for

the huge ones!  Thought 

you would love the photos.

front

back

Holding area

Area where the Clematis grow.

Before the two huge ones were pulled.

After they were pulled.  The tops were 

inter twined and fun to move together.  

You can see the one in the ground behind

 the huge cement pot.  I had to cut it free

 from that clematis that is in the ground.

They all smelled of smoke and the l

eaves were gritty to the touch.

I will advise you if you don't know 

your plants don't do this.   

We had an elderly lady come to one 

of our sales many moons ago and 

while talking to her I found out one 

can cut clematis back in July and she

said she got fall blooms!  The secret 

is fertilize!   Once you cut back within 

24 hours of doing this you need to 

fertilize.  We here try to fertilize one

hour after cutting.  Then one week 

later fertilize half strength. When we 

start to see new growth for a week we

then will fertilize again as we know 

they are on their way with life.  We 

do not hybridize these and allow the 

bees and hummingbirds to play!

We find the fall blooms are nice but 

not as good as the spring blooms!  

The spring growth is in the

10 foot range with the fall growth 

in the 8 foot.

Also at this time we move the 

clematis around.  Check out the

Clematis post to find out why.

The above photo of the two together 

should give you the hint.   I had 

to buy new support stakes as the 

ones we had weren't giving them

enough support.  Do not use bamboo!

8/5/2023

We are starting to see the Clematis

regrow so we will have fall blooms.

8/8/2023

All are showing signs of growth

so I spent this evening putting 

them back into the yard.  Mother 

Nature was so kind to give them

a drink over night!

Here is the first one to be cut back.  I moved

her to a bigger space so she can really span out.

Becoming our favorites!

The Clematis are coming back and we

still have a couple months of grow time.

With the heat I have noticed

that they are turning a deeper

Purple.
