Now and Then by Nancy Kline

Yard After Storm
 
My beautiful glads, hibiscus, and bee balm took a bit hit from the wind.   
 
 
The night of June 26, 2018 we had a terrible storm blow in.  The yard was in picture taking mode when the wind started blowing and everything went dark.  We were without electricity for two hours. 

There will have to be major clean-up really soon. 
We got home from work on Wednesday and made an attempt to clean up from the storm.  It was too hot to get very much accomplished.  The heat index was 103 degrees.

I did get a chance to check out my baby veggies and was surprised to find that most of the small plants did not survive the storm and the heat.  So, this means another trip to get some replacements.  Whoever told me that planting a late garden would be easy must not have ever tried it.  Lesson learned:  plant early. 


This is a shot of my new vegetable garden.  It is in my back yard so should be more convenient than the old garden located behind our warehouse in Kirbyville, MO.  The old garden was 75 feet by 75 feet.  This new one is much smaller. 
 
This is a shot of my neglected garden work house.  It needs a little work that will have to wait for cooler weather. 

I do love my garden in spite of floods, heat, weeds and insects.  Keeps an old woman busy!
