They Say 70s Today.....

Before we drop back to the 50s for a

few more cooler and wet days!  A great

day to get out and work in the yard.

Remember the Sunscreen!! 

What A Weekend!!

We were able to get out into the yard

and get the tarp off the red gazebo. So

more of the fir chips can be vac up and

I need to get them out of the shrubs 

where they are just loaded.  After many

rain delays you would think Mother

Nature would help get them out but

they are crammed in the stalks and 

leaves.  Not even the wind has shaken

them loose.   DH when he was getting

the tarp weights up over the fence 

stated you should see the mess over

on their side.  I just laughed when they

offered to come clean up!!  It is truly

time to take them back to court!!

You see our yard isn't like any other

yard in Clark County, it's a show case

for the neighborhood.   We had over

450 folks come tour our yard one year.

We have put our yard on the County's 

garden tour a couple times to only have

to pull our site due to neighbors' issues.

When we called into the County to cancel 

our obligation we are asked why.  We tell 

them and they ask for us to try the next year.

We open our gardens when we have our 

annual garage sale and folks just go nuts.

I have had nursery folks come and we have

been told it's great to see what we sell in a

garden of yours.

So if you would like to visit our gardens,

please make an appointment.  Our gardens 

are what is classified as a working garden.

We test seeds for growers and have yet to 

pull out some of the plants so we are busy

getting them out of the greenhouses.  

This past weekend was taking our beloved

B. Shorty's Variegated out of the greenhouse

and putting her in a larger pot.

 

Here she is in the greenhouse trying to bloom.

When we pulled her out, we strip her of most of her

leaves and pulled her out of her 5 gallon pot that was

in a 5 gallon bucket to make her easy to move.

More photos later.

Have A Great Weekend!

 Get out and garden!!  They say

we are going to warm up soon so

get out and enjoy.  One always 

feels better when one gets their

hands in the soil!

4/28/2022 Clean up!

 

As you can see the wood chips are all over!

This all has to be vac up and beings that I 

can only be out there for an hour, it will take

time.  There is plenty of damage.

Just love the fact that they stated the company

would take precaution, sorry but none were 

taken by the company!  

Work like this should never be done while in

the growing season!   It sure shows they don't

care at all.

I have already taken one 64 gallon bin of wood

chips off the yard.  Why remove?   These types 

of chips can smother plants and cause ant to 

invade the yard.

5/4/2022

I am glad to report after taking 4 more bags off

the west hosta garden beds I can say I'm at 95%

cleaned up! 

Still have some to pick up when and if we do

dry up.  But it looks so much better compared to

what is across the fence!

We still have to fix our fence!  Guess the tree

folks didn't cleanup at all??

Happy Friday!! When You Have Lemons

 Make lemonade!!

It's been a really busy week so

full of excitement!!

Today is a dear friend's birthday

and she has also decided to retire

also!!  Happy Birthday & Happy 

Retirement!  Love and Hugs!!

Yesterday, was my first day of

Physical Therapy!!  Ouch!!  She

warned me I would be sore, she 

was so right!!  But the sore is a

good thing, getting back to normal.

I truly thank her for adjusting the

crutches to fit better!  She is great!!

I have noticed a couple more folks

have joined the blog, thank you!

I have also notice that folks are 

starting to drive by and look.  Drive

byes are great and you can see

the garden from the comforts of

ones car.  If you want to take the 

tour, I ask that you make and 

appointment, please.  Just leave

a comment and I'll check back

with you if you don't have our

business card to get a hold of me

by email.  The yard is starting to

come alive!

Have a great Friday!!

 

Not Opening Our Gardens Until It's Cleaned Up!!

 We will be unable to open the 

gardens until Summer, now that

the west gardens are trashed.

4/27/2022 Having Fun!!

 

According to the County it's a civil matter

if our neighbor hires someone to remove 

their trees and they trash our yard!!   

They are responsible for the mess.  

What protection was done was our tarping

and trying to protect the plants that are 

coming up.  We have told them not to do

removal as our plants were coming up

already.  A previous letter we told them 

the best time to remove them would be 

when the yard is dormant.

Sure glad they listened!!

One question for everyone.  If you saw 

someone not caring how the trees come 

down or what it would cause in the line 

of damage would you hire this company??

More photos so you can see what our

yard looks like.

Can you tell me how this company

protected our property?   All I saw 

was two pieces of plywood up against

my fence.  

Tell me how I'm to clean up my

yard after just having knee surgery?
