Rain & Wind Delay This AM

 It's a two cup hot green tea day!!
Since I couldn't get outside yet, time
to do bedding!

While out in the garage it's smelled like
heaven out there.  The fragrance was so 
pleasing from the two Brugmansias out
there.

Enjoy our cross, kHT's Pink.






64,000!! Already This AM

 Thank You!!  That was fast.

Yellow Roses For The Dinning Room Table.

 Enjoy!






Time To Harvest More Tomatoes!!

 Boy was I shocked to see the larges one
starting to turn color, another one had 
dropped to the ground.  I found a couple
more large ones to bring in also.,



















Guess I'll let them ripen a bit more! 

First Fall Storm Of The Season!

 Hit yesterday with the first round 
of  back to back storms.  When the 
wind hit last night it tore up the outer
layer of plastic and tore the tarp on the
greenhouse.  What a mess!  Not only
the plastic but I now have pine needles
all over the north and east yard.  I will
have to clean out all the pots sitting on 
the driveway as that was totally covered.




















So this morning I washed off the driveway
and you could see all the needles washing
away.  Then later in the morning I went out
and blew the leaves out of the circle.  Then 
I had to blow all the pine needles off the 
deck.

Then it was time to bring in all the Clivias
to their winter home.






















I just have a few!!

Then the wind started to pick up again and I
thought I better bring in a couple brugs that
were just starting to open.  A squirrel got one
of the huge buds so I wanted to see the rest 
bloom.























By the evening the pink one, which is the huge
bud one opened fully.




















After taking this photo I went to the greenhouse
where the orange double was to take the photo
of it, still blooming her heart out!




















As you can see I fill my day so full
of things to check off my list!

The Brugmansia House

 Today was the day set aside to work
on the Brugmansia House, which means
removing the plastic that was starting to 
break down.  I double layer the plastic due
to this very reason.  After emptying what
was hanging on the walls it was time to 
start the process of dismantling.   But first
I needed to remove the hornets nest!!
















Off came the roof!!















One thing I do is reuse what plastic I can.
This year I need to line the bottoms of the 
rainbarrel saucers.  Since we have some 
huge pots that come in handy as they don't
make saucers for those for the whiskey barrels
planters.

Then the rain hit!  Wind followed and the pine
needles dropped.  Rain delay!!

The tarp you see on the greenhouse was shredded
and so that had to be removed after the winds we
had of 25 to 35 mph.  The wind took out the south
or front of the Brug House.  Thank goodness the
plastic arrived early!!

Today was my day to remove the old
plastic and start the process of putting
up the new!




















Above is just 3 walls worth of plastic.


















Here is the frame we cover, I had to add a couple
more support PVC to the roof area this year.  We 
are looking at a different light for the Brug House
this year.




















The 6 mil clear plastic is going up this year.

















With the plastic cut and put around the base of the 
frame, tomorrow will be put up the walls day!
Then I can put the shelves and plants back on them.
Putting the Rain Barrel in place and move the PVC 
shelf.  This year I will be putting the Rain Barrel in 
the SW corner to make it easier to fill.

As the temps turn cooler the Brugmansia will be
going into their Winter home. 

Before the Plastic goes up, there was the cleanup
of the area around the Brug House.  This area was
cleaned out just a few weeks ago.  Yes, you can't 
see the gravel!























The above is the gravel area to the east of the 
greenhouse, which is Sable's area to potty.




















Under the plastic is the Eppie Cactus that
came out of the Brug House.  I don't feel
like cleaning them all out.


Today was the day to get the Brug House
up and completed, well all except the door.
That will be done in the morning as I just
ran out of daylight.


















Time to fill up the space!

 Oh My Gosh!! Thank you!

I had a busy afternoon 
emptying the Brug House
and didn't have time
to stop in until now.  

Please bare with me, I'm in
the process of clearing out the
plants and then removing the 
old plastic to put up new plastic
that arrived early!  I will try to
pop in when I can. 

58,000 Views Overnight!

 I'm over whelmed how fast

What Did You Do Today??

 Since it's fall, we spend the 
day pulling all the Brugmansia
out of the yard and stripped their
leaves off getting them ready to 
go into their house for the winter
months  























As you can see this is how
I move the plants.  An 
appliance dolly really saves
on the back if you do it 
right.
 

















Once the collection was stripped and moved
to the driveway area I opted to move several
clematis to the fence line by the street.













All were removed but 2 when the wind picked up
today!

Thank you Josh Cozart!

September Is A Record Breaking Month

 Already!  I am gratefully and really
surprised at all the attention.  I know
folks come here to spam and I'm laughing
at the emails and regular mail I am getting.
Like the regular mail for insurance and they
thought I was a male!  NOT!!  If you believe
everything on the net, you need to do more
research!!

I take the spam emails as harassment!  The 
good book states treat others as you would
like to be treated.

 Thank you!!

Another Busy Day in the Garden...

 Trying to get everything done.
Today was move the lights day
and put up the new lights in the
greenhouse.  I had to mow as we
are to have a few days of rain. I 
needed to trim up some of the 
wisteria so I could mow the path.
Then I was able to get to stripping
some of the brugs.  Hope you enjoy
the photos.















Someone asked how I move these huge
trees.  I'll let the photos show you.





















This one is B. Jutner Peachy
Cream and she is to tall to go
into the Brug House so she
will be cut.

I also had someone ask about
taking cuttings.  Soon I'll post
a cutting post to help those that
want to learn.
