Aloha…
I have just come back inside… after spending an hour watering all of my container plants…
After months and months (and months) of rain… summer has finally arrived… 90f on Sunday… 89f today… and my plants were starting to show signs of the heat…
This is a nice time of the day… still very warm… but the sun is lower on the horizon so it won’t burn the leaves as I get water on them…
My collection of succulents now number over a hundred different varieties … I also have a modest collection of bamboo plants…
My deck in back is ringed with assorted junipers and holly plants (my feeble attempt to discourage the deer from coming up and eating the succulents)…
The pest I have the most trouble with are the chipmunks… they steal sunflower seeds from my neighbor’s bird feeders… then come over to my place and bury them in the succulent pots… leaving holes… as well as sunflower starts…
While outside this evening… in addition to squirrels and chipmunks… the hawk returned and is sitting on a branch in back… perhaps he/she will help me with my chipmunk problem…
All remains well with me…
Thanks for drifting by… and for your notes to me…
Aloha oe...............
