 I know that the original post was done long

ago and have had some folks request that I

update this.  It's just general information for

those that grow them.  I have been growing

them since 1995 and there is more I can add.

I will say this, one needs to find their own

path and experience these lovely ladies of

the night to understand what they are all 

about.  Pointers were few and far between

when I first started out with these.  I do

thank those that helped me along my path.

The key is education and knowledge in

what you grow.  Each garden is different, 

so each gardener is different. 

North of the Bomb Cyclone!

 Today we dipped in temps, the rain hit

and the wind kicked up again.  Not going

out until it's stops raining!  Getting tired 

of the high wind and watching the trees

sway!!

What a mess!

1/5/2023

The winds hit over night and today will

be cleanup day.  Photos at first light.

They are saying winds at 40 to 50 MPH.

While out taking Sable out more branches came

down and she was pelted by pine cones.

The last photo shows what flew over the house

to hit the deck. 

You know what I'll be doing today!

2 1/2 hours to rake up the mess that

went all the way to the west fence!

1/2 hours to pickup and put away all the tools.

our 64 gallon yard debris can was totally full

and the smaller 64 yard debris can was 3/4

full and if I step in the can I'll have some room

for a little more.  Now when the rain stops

I'll be out to vac the area to clean up more.

Really had issues of breathing by the time

I was done.  

Still blowing so we will have more later, plus

the roofs and gutters will need to be done

1/6/2023

A nice day to pickup pine needles,  2 1/2

buckets of pine needles and 1 bucket of 

leaves that have blown in.  Our leaves from

our tree were picked up months ago so this

is neighboring trees.  No one picks up their

tree leaves!!

Where Are Folks' Heads?

 A little after 8 AM tis morning some

guy was at our door with Campaign 

flier he was about to leave at our door.   

Excuse me!  Do not leave that at my 

door!!   Let me save your money as 

I won't vote for her were the words

I stated to him!  Then he tried to talk

about another flier he wanted to leave 

and I told him no!  Then the dog goes 

off and I told him I was a Community 

Activist.  I know all the issues and

do not want his junk.  Beside our 

yard is posted no trespassing so leave!   

No respect for anyone that shows up 

unannounced and at that time in 

the morning.  Nore will we vote for

someone that sends their folks out 

at that time.

Do not stop at our door!!  

New Neighbors!!

 The sign is down on the house to 

the east!!    It was reported that the

house sold for $490,000!!  Now tell

me that is crazy!!  Clark County's

GIS list this at a value of $333,887.00,

let me add lower than our value!!

But the funny thing is the old owners

vehicles are still seen coming and 

going.  No one has moved in??

No wonder folks can't afford a house

here.  Or should some one say they

over paid??

Time for an update.  Sad to say for 

almost a week there has been guys

removing either lead paint or asbestos?

Don't ya just love the little surprises 

that comes with buying older homes?

Hope there was an inspection??

Come Walk In Our Yard.

Someone back east requested photo, so I hope you enjoy!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

If you have seen the older photos you will know this area got hit hard from falling
neighbor's tree branches.  It hasn't come back like the other side.  Matter of fact
it is loosing, it used to be the best side of the hosta garden.

Finally got the hydranges to look good after being hit twice by falling limbs.

This year's veggie garden was just planted a couple weeks with the Peas and Beans last weekend.  Still dealing with fir junk falling from the huge trees.

We usually take photos from the roof once a year but this year, I'm not supposed to be up there when no one is here.
