Forrest fire threat level raised to max (5) there have already been a few, thank God most could be put out quickly , yesterday, coming back from my 2. root canal treatment, I saw another fire, police and firefighters were there ( lots of them) the guy beside me in the took a video 😬 guess what I...
Yesterday, I started the water pump ( before, I watered the garden with watering cans) and lugged the heavy hoses around me and soaked the ground where I could ( took me 3 hrs), planted a red sage , cleaned out more nettles and did the laundry , this morning, my shoulder said ; I didn’t like...
I am surprised, usually the feathers are good insulators 🤔 my chickens harvest the flowers before they even turn into cherries 😬 but they harvest the gooseberries and red currants before I get a taste ( not a fan of red currants anyway, too sour) interesting fact, they don’t harvest white...
Neighbors clematis is in bloom, since it is attached to my fence, I feel half of it is mine, cos I also water it in summer, I sometimes wonder how he thinks it survived our dry summers 🤔
Here is my own clematis, I love it
Frost damaged walnut tree is putting out new leaves, it will cost it a lot of energy, I fear no walnuts this year 😬
My clematis in full bloom, I love the color 🥰
I planted my dahlias in pots, I hope no more frost 🙏🏻
Also put my aloe outside, they have to winter inside ..
Watered my newly...
It finally really rained during the night, but thunder and lightning came along with it , did I mention my dog is afraid of thunder?! Anyway, I stayed up with the dog half of the night, but it is ok, since I don’t need to water the garden today and hopefully tomorrow too 🙏🏻
My dog brings home a lot of ticks too 🙄 I dose her with a pill every now and then, but they are so poisonous I always feel bad when giving her one, and the ticks need to suck blood to die, so not a perfect solution either 😩 this year the ticks were TINY!!! I didn’t even see them, my daughter saw...
My palovina is in
bloom( first time ever for that tree) the frost killed off multiple leaves and buds, but a few managed to pull through 🥰
My first pears, let’s see if they really get to grow up to be pears I can eat 🙏🏻
Right now it is dry as a desert, I am watering whatever I manage, but...
My hubby doesn’t cook either, he managed to burn a frozen pizza in the middle while it was still raw on the outside 🤪 but he uses up all the dishes as well even when not cooking 😅
I could, but we have such dry weather, they would have to be watered every day while I am gone, family already stresses out cos they have to look after the dog, I fear watering „plants“ isn’t vey high on their priority list 😬
I should plant my dahlias while I am still home, but a little bit afraid it is too soon, frost damaged a lot of my trees, these are the last bulbs I’ve got left of my dahlias, and I don’t want to lose them, but if I don’t plant them, they will also die 🤷🏻♀️
No, I am sure ! I know where they grow, and they have distinctive smell when you pick them and the bloom is also unique, ramps have broader leaves and different flowers
The late frost killed almost all the new leaves from my mulberry tree, palovina ( I’m very worried about the flower buds, they...
