See Ya All in 2025!

Before & After

 Before:

After:

This is how we spent our Sunday Morning!

3 1/2 hours later, we picked up 10 1/2 bags

of shredded maple leaves and pine.  2 pickle 

buckets off the roofs of the house and shed.

Before I got time to vac up the front yard

and what has blown in from the east after 

our last storm.  I vac up 1 full bag from the 

front.

Why did I post this?   Here is the photo of the 

new lawn that was put in fall of 2023. Now 

compare it with the above photo.  Yes, 

neighboring can damage your property!

It is so good to see our yard back!

There Will Be A Change To My Blog.

Time for a change here! 

After being here for the past

11 years it was time to cut back

on the posts to what most folks

are looking for.

Enjoy!

Imagine

 Imagine there's no Heaven

It's easy if you try

No Hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today
Ah, ah, ah-ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

RIP  John, on your anniversary 

of your death.

Abutilon / Flowering Maple / Parlor Maple

  Abutilon are free-flowering plants with leaves

 like maple trees and colorful flowers that have

 the look of crepe paper.  Malvaceae / mallow 

 family.

I have been asked about our collection several

times  Last year we had well over 2 dozen varieties

but this year we had to cut back due to my knee

surgery.  I also put the largest ones in the Brug

house after running out of room inside.  With the

cooler temp most did not survive.  The greenhouse

was warmer but there was no room!

So we are now starting over with that was left.

Here are some photos taken this year of what

we have.

Lets Talk Clivia

 

I have been ask for information on Clivias

and just received this from another grower 

which I think it is good advice.

I recently was on a quest to find the best way

to clean the water spots off the leaves.  Last

year I put them in the brug house with the

eppies over the top of them, so when I would

water the eppies they would drip and water

the Clivias.  Some folks recommend the 

cleaning of leaves monthly.  What I found

that works best if equal amounts of Lemon

juice and water.  Some of the ones that 

haven't been cleaned a while the water

spots need another rubbing.
