I wrapped chicken wire around what's left of my my potted plants in hopes that the surviving branch here and there will grow back. One Geranium plant is all I have left and I think it's survived only because it's up high.
I set up my greenhouse. Then shortly afterwards the wind came and blew it down the hill approximately 50 feet where it landed to rest against the tack shed.
The music man and I brought it back to where it belongs. A couple days later it threatened to blow back down there so I took the cover off and am rethinking it. I need to adjust to accommodate the afternoon wind. Growing things in a desert climate is always a challenge.
I began laying fencing around the garden area, prepped my beds and planted onions. My transplants are still safely inside my kitchen for now although I'll need to bring them out soon.
I stopped for some quiet time to watch Chancie. Turns out I love horsey TV too! Insert big goofy smile here (( ))
This makes it all good, the wind, rodents and chewed plants. We have the most amazing sunsets here and today... Luna Tuna Pie comes home and we are so excited!

ReplyDeleteOh Chancie is one beautiful horse and that sunset is gorgeous. Good luck with those rodents that is frustrating. I am pretty sure Horsey TV would be a hit. B
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I remember our first attempt at a garden when we lived in Twin Pines, just south of Banning off of Hwy 243 - it was PITIFUL! The wind blew and blew, we had monsoon rains (El Nina or something like that - 2005) and oh. my. goodness. I learned so much that year, for instance, un-composted horse manure does not make a good side dressing for plants!
ReplyDeleteThat wind will always win, Jen - you might need a different type of cover. :)
Hi Sheila, haha yep gardening out here is a challenge. I agree that the cover needs to be adjusted to try and survive against the wind.
DeleteGorgeous sunset.
ReplyDeleteI love horse TV :))
A beautiful sunset. Lets hope you figure out a way to stop the greenhouse blowing away again. Good luck.
