Garden Is Open..........

But if the temps rise to 90 we will not be 

open.

This past week I have been busy cutting

back plants.   So don't be shocked when

you see what is gone.  The tropicals are

thriving!!

I am also trying to finish up the painting

so be warned I maybe painting.

Ya See What I See??

 

Had To Laugh!!

Some time there is a priceless moment at

the end of the lane!!    

Yesterday while cutting back the clematis 

I notice an expensive car come pulling into

the road off the mail road.  The lady stopped

and noticed the toilet, she just shock 

her head and drove back out.   

My bet is she was a Real Estate person!!

Fireworks and Burning Ban

 To the sweet neighbor that set off fireworks

after 1AM in the Felida area.....Stupidity is 

showing!!   

There was a lot of stupidity in Felida on the 

4th......The county needs to enforce the law!

More fireworks blow up!

Sugar Ants

 Again we had a young man show

up at our door saying he was treating

so and so neighbors' for sugar ants!

I hate to say this but you will be dealing

with these as long as your neighbors keep

their yards as they do and don't under 

stand that is the key to the problems!

They love wet wood chips that are mulched

from trees.  If you have an unkept lawn 

is another issue as they love these areas.

I also bet that you don't treat your yard

for ants either, so what can one say.  You

want to go natural ...... no you are just 

lazy!

Don't send them our way as we treat 

out yard regularly and know just what

your neglect can cause when they get

into the electrical!!  Your cheapness

can cause issues that your neighbors

have to deal with!!

So if you have dead pine stuff laying

around you will have sugar ants.

Clean up your yards and treat your 

property. 

Glad to know you have an issue, I

will just treat the yard again to keep

them out of ours.

My husband said I was to nice to the

kid,  but he just pissed me off and I 

will say it again.  There is a reason

there are signs at the curb.   The next 

time I won't be so nice!!  Like I told the

kid, you are talking to the wrong folks

when you should be talking to my 

neighbors whom if you look you can

see they don't care.  Who has the wood

chips??

Ya can't fix their stupidity!!   Furthermore,

why would one want to help pay for you to 

rid your property of sugar ants when we 

don't have them on our property?    Treat

your yard, but warning they will be back 

due to your not cleaning up!

I know my neighbors hate to see me clean up!!

It's their trees we deal with!!

The Cleanup!!

 I spent my morning cleaning up 

from the wind. I took 5 1/2 pickle 

buckets of fir/pine/evergreen

needles that came down.  I started 

at 8:45 this am and ended a quarter

after noon.  First cleaned the circle

 out as it was covered with needles.

Then mowed as that would be the 

best way to get what is in the yard. 

Some places I have to go over it 

twice to get it all picked up.  I picked

up a half bucket of leaves prior to

starting the clean up. Then I had 

to vac up the north beds which 

added up to 4 bucket full.  

Then I had to vac by the shed

and in the gravel, which is Sable's

area which added up to a bucket 

and a half.  After that I had to water

the area as a lot of the plants were

totally covered and laying flat.  It is 

just so nice to have my yard back!!  

Closing The Gardens

Due to the heat! 

Last night we watch it rain fir

and pine needles due to the heat

and no watering of trees.   So

I will be cleaning up the mess.

Check out The Cleanup post.

Another reason to close is we

are awaiting for the new cable

line to be buried.  

This is also the time of year to 

cut back plants that can bloom

later in the fall.  I am currently

cutting back the Clematis.

Please make an appt. as it's 

a busy time of year.
