Round 4--Heat Wave!!

They are now saying another heat
wave is coming starting next week!
Not moving the brugs again until it's
time to put them away for the winter
months!!   It appears that I will be 
cutting many of them back this fall
as the heat and late freeze has damaged
many of them.  

Maybe it's time to give them up and 
allow the clematis to take their place.

8/18/2022

Today we were to hit 98 but thank goodness
for the clouds!  Temps in the 80 but, humidity
was off the charts!!  Smog also was a problem.

Love working early in the morning when it's
cooler!!   Hoping for some rain soon!!

Returning

 8/8/2022

I returned the Brugmanisa to the front
yard after being stripped of a lot of leaves.
They were just a mess being on the north
side of the house.  Smoke and Brugmansia
are not a good thing!   I wish I could plant
them in their original garden spot but to
much second hand smoke!!   The ones
left on the driveway are doing much better
than the ones on the north side of the house.

All I can say is if smoke damages plants, 
what is it doing to the human body? 

A Little Relief!!

 Cloudy and 63 degrees this am with
a few sprinkles!!    But again they say
90s first of next week.  Whom ever is
hogging the real rain, please return it
to the PNW, we need it badly!!  We need
to wash the smokey air out of here.

Round 3 Heat Wave!

Again we are to have yet another heatwave!
It has been so nice and cool these past couple
days.  Are you ready or have you given up
on the yard?  

We here are cutting back those plants that 
have completed their bloom cycle and 
instead of watching them fry, they are
being cut back.  

Stay cool!!

Hot Week!!

 Way above normal temps and all one
can do it water and watch what the heat
is doing to the plants!!   I'm glad I cut
the Clematis back and repotted some
of the other plants in larger pots!  I
started cutting back the plants that are
done and it's really been helpful not
see them fry!    Lots of plants were
put in the Brug House due to it's much
cooler in there.   Stay cool!!

We have currently move all the brugmansia
to the north side of the house in the shade 
to make sure they don't get more damage
from the heat.
