 I know that the original post was done long

ago and have had some folks request that I

update this.  It's just general information for

those that grow them.  I have been growing

them since 1995 and there is more I can add.

I will say this, one needs to find their own

path and experience these lovely ladies of

the night to understand what they are all 

about.  Pointers were few and far between

when I first started out with these.  I do

thank those that helped me along my path.

The key is education and knowledge in

what you grow.  Each garden is different, 

so each gardener is different. 

North of the Bomb Cyclone!

 Today we dipped in temps, the rain hit

and the wind kicked up again.  Not going

out until it's stops raining!  Getting tired 

of the high wind and watching the trees

sway!!

What a mess!

The winds hit over night and today will

be cleanup day.  Photos at first light.

They are saying winds at 40 to 50 MPH.

While out taking Sable out more branches came

down and she was pelted by pine cones.

The last photo shows what flew over the house

to hit the deck. 

You know what I'll be doing today!

2 1/2 hours to rake up the mess that

went all the way to the west fence!

1/2 hours to pickup and put away all the tools.

our 64 gallon yard debris can was totally full

and the smaller 64 yard debris can was 3/4

full and if I step in the can I'll have some room

for a little more.  Now when the rain stops

I'll be out to vac the area to clean up more.

Really had issues of breathing by the time

I was done.  

Still blowing so we will have more later, plus

the roofs and gutters will need to be done

A nice day to pickup pine needles,  2 1/2

buckets of pine needles and 1 bucket of 

leaves that have blown in.  Our leaves from

our tree were picked up months ago so this

is neighboring trees.  No one picks up their

tree leaves!!
