Thank You for Visiting

It's time to focus on the garden so I'll

disappear for a while to get the collection

put away.  Hope you enjoy the back issues

on my madness in the garden to create and

deal with issues of trying to keep our gardens

looking nice!   Yes, surrounding neighbors

can become a problem for others when they

have a garden like ours.  As an attorney stated

to us, you don't have a common Clark County

yard, you have created something like you 

would find in a well know garden.  It sure can

tell the love for nature and it's just breath taking.

I can't believe all you have to deal with and

still keep them enjoyable.  

I remember my grannie saying remember to 

keep your place like you would love if the 

Queen were to stop in.    I love the green 

with the brown around us.  Environment is

really important!!  

More when I can take a breath.

Stop and smell the flowers!! 

Overwhelming Year In The Garden

 

My DH just stood in the front yard and stated

he was overwhelmed at what he saw!  How do

you keep it all looking so nice?   This time of

year thing start to go south!   It's time to take

care and get the plants ready for being cut back

and ready for winter.  No more fertilizer!!  Let

them rest!!  

Now is the time to start moving plants that need

to be put in a different spot.  Divide plants and 

clean up is important!!    I started stripping and 

thinning out the nanas.  Next is stripping the rose

leaves and making sure there is no leave left on the

soil.  

Time to get the greenhouses ready!!  

Closing Date 9/15/2022  Open by appointments only

until 9/25/2022, please remember we are a working 

garden.

 9/17/2022

We spent our Sat. cleaning up around the carport

where the classic sits.  We took 32 gallons of 

evergreen junk from this area.  I went in after

DH had cleaned what he could and took 3 full 

bags up from the carport to the front driveway.

9/18/2022

Sunday I had to cleanup the area to the north

fence line, from one bed I took up a full pickle

bucket of needles, pine cones, seeds and bark.

I have the strawberry bed to do next when I have

some spare time.

Time to let them rest and get ready for winter.

Yet Another Heat Wave Is Coming!!

I know it's hard to keep ahead of the heat, but

remember plants are living things!  Keep them

safe.  Fall is just a few weeks away!!  Maples

are starting to turn red!!! 

Brugmansia Season!!
