It’s been very nice cool, low humidity all week, but no rain. It’s so dry I got Scooter stuck in the sand in the backyard, but I knew that was coming, I had been slip sliding through the sand for a week.
Where we are from, Southern Al and Ms got around 20-24inches of rain. There are still roads closed from the flood damage. One area in an adjacent county had 7ft of water in some low lying homes.
I woke up one morning this week to what I thought was squirrels on the roof, but it turned out to be buzzards, 4 on the roof, 4 on the gazebo roof and about 25-35 more in the yard and street. They just ignored the pups barking, but when I pitched a rock at the roof and hit the rain gutter and made a loud noise all flew at once and not been back. We do see lots of them overhead all the time, for some reason.
The maters in the GLG are blooming big time, but no maters still. The 2 in the RCG are growing like crazy but no blooms, but the peppers in the containers next to them are blooming, as are my ghost peppers, which are root bound and needing bigger pots.
Wife’s zennias are a foot tall or so it looks from the window. All her other flowers, annuals, are blooming, but none of the perennials yet, except for lilies. The ferns are beginning to make a comeback from the ice storm, as are a few of the larger container plants in the patio area.
That’s it from the north side of town, Marcella will report on the conditions on the in-town area, I’m sure.
Buzzards??? Maybe looking for water or wild life dying from lack of water? Never seen a real buzzard.
Stress sometimes helps plants produce fruit.(Desperate to propogate)LOL.
What’s the GLG? I can’t remember.
