Clematises Down!

 I have been cutting back our Clematises

due to the heat wave we have been having.

I am down to just one left in my process of

cutting them back.  Lots of burnt leaves and

some die back.  

Sorry no Photos as Google wants Cookies!!

Not allowed so I guess it's time to move the

blog some where else!  This wasn't an issue

until now so time to move on.  

Just half of the collection.

They grow up so fast!  Just a month

after being cut back.

Filling in nicely and a few are starting

to bloom!

Temporary Closing Our Gardens

 Due to the Heatwave.  We will

reopen when the temps are more

normal.

Even the Tropicals are frying!

7/21/2024  

Finally some cooler weather!  Hottest 

July on record with little rain.

8/2/2024

With additional health issues we have

decided not to reopen the gardens for

the rest of 2024.    You are free to look

from the curb or catch me out working

in the yard and ask but let me tell you 

we are busy cutting back.  The heat has

taken a tole on us and the gardens this

year.  Thanks for your support.

Our yard on the east side was trashed!  

Time To Relax / I do not smoke!

 Until the next medical journey!  I just

finished one and have 3 more to go this

month!  So please forgive if the blog takes

a back seat for a while.

Getting tired of all my doctors asking me

if I smoke......NO!  But my neighbor to 

the north has a fire pit!

Last week I added another doctor to my

team to keep me going.  We know, I have

issues with the eyes, he requested I keep on

the path that I'm on!   He recorded the numbers

on the issues and said I should stick with the

6 month plan with my regular doctor.  We now

have a point to compare if the issues continue.

I don't smoke!

Two more specialists to go before my journey

at the end of the month!  Echo, checked off the list

last week.   Today I got another set of x-rays!

Now to see each doctor for why these were

ordered.

Again I do not smoke!

All that I ask is they keep me on my feet and

doing what I love!

Saw the heart doc. on the 30th and there was

a slight issue that we will keep a close eye on

but everything looks the same.

31st I saw the surgeon to get on his schedule

to do the left knee.   I will have a list of things

to complete before surgery.  He was impressed

on how well the right knee was doing!  I have

the best surgeon!

 Some time today the blog reached the

74,000 views.  I didn't know my site 

would be this popular!!  Life with 

spammers is what it is.  Germany and 

Russia just keep moving to different

locations.

For those of you here to enjoy what

we do here, thank you for stopping

in.  I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Happy 4th of July!

The perennial Hibiscus are just

growing like crazy, I'll post photos

Time For Spring Cleanup

 Many of you know we do our Spring

 Cleanup around the 4th of July.

I have started to cut back a lot of the 

Spring bloomers.  Why, so that we

also get fall blooms!  The heat and

wind do some of the plants in.  I am 

in the process of saving seeds and 

will post what I have for sale later

in July when some are ready.

7/8/2024

After watching the yard fry with

the extremely hot temps we are 

having to cut down a lot of the 

plants. In cutting them back, so

that they will regrow and bloom 

in the fall! The key is to fertilize

after they are cut back to get them

to regrow!
