9/24/2022---Today Was Brugmansia House Setup!!











After an hour of pushing and pulling the 
piece of roof plastic we got it up!  Next is 
making sure the door opening was in the 
right place.  The sides were even and the 
back was tucked in the right place. 








Next was adding the door extra cover to 
make sure there is no draft.











Then to tape the plastic in place, tucking
in the corners and taping them.  This will 
hold until we get the tarp over it to tie 
down.

Next was put in the new heavy duty 
electrical box to make sure all the 
lights, fan and heater will be supported 
with a surge protector.   Next is to add
the plants!

A look into the Greenhouse after a couple
days of putting some of the plants in here 
for safe keeping.

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.

9/9/2022 High Winds

Again our yard is trashed!!   I cleaned up what
I could last night but there is more to do today!   
Just what I needed!! So far 4 mulched bags 
have been removed!

9/11/2022

2 and 1/2 more bags removed.

 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.
