Getting into the mid- and upper- BM>> 80's, which isn't too bad but when coupled with the higher humidity BM>> and not too much of a breeze tends to make me become the soggy part of BM>> the landscape! NB>> Not particularly pleasant for the gardener.... ;0 BM> No, though just go on through it. Take a shower afterwards. And then feel refreshed as well as having accomplished something... :) BM>> And the one shrub is gone. :( Nothing left but just a trunk to dig BM>> out. The other shrub (the one I started with and left a lot more of the BM>> green) has a few new sprouts. :) It's still on the to-be-removed BM>> list, but maybe a reprieve.... NB>> One can hope for the reprieve... :) Is the one left the one that NB>> split, or the other one...? BM> The one that is gone was the one that split, so the one remaining is BM> reasonably healthy and sturdy. It does have some new shoots (yea!) BM> but don't know if will have enough or be big enough to earn it a BM> reprieve. I think it's safe for this year. :) We can hope so... :) BM>>> ...Neighbours at the far end of the street do have a boat and I BM>>> haven't seen it lately -- maybe they've got it prepared for BM>>> something?! NB>>> Or moved it to higher ground....? Do they have any camp NB>>> property....? BM>> No camp AFAIK. As for moving the boat to higher ground "for the BM>> flood" I don't know what I'd do. Move the boat to lower ground and BM>> move some valuables from the house to it makes some sense, as long as BM>> can get to the boat from the house when the time came to evacuate. BM>> OTOH moving the boat to higher ground also makes some sense: can BM>> probably get to the higher ground easier. NB>> Maybe they've just found a better place to store the boat.... :) BM> Or the place where they usually store it got un-flooded! There are a BM> few marinas nearby, and while the boat would just float the docks BM> probably only raise so much, plus the marina would probably be BM> inaccessible due to the flooding. I'd probably prefer to park my BM> semi-expensive boat where I could see it as opposed to hoping it's OK BM> and not being able to get to it. Yeah, I could see that.... Do they usually store it in their yard for the winter.....? BM>> Pretty much what was thought to be dead did end up being dead. In BM>> hindsight the waiting was not necessary but still I would have rather BM>> to have been certain before lopping off. NB>> Yup, I'd agree... this way you'll not wonder if you'd been too NB>> hasty before... :) BM> Right, and unfortunately looks like some more branches have died, or BM> maybe just looks like more with the others having leaves. That shrub BM> was in a ponding section but the 'additional dead branches" don't have BM> buds so didn't attempt to grow and then die. Possibly the dead ones are just more obvious now.... There is enough surviving to keep the bush, isn't there....? ttyl neb .... SENILE.COM found . . .
