Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

The will to survive

 Before:

I didn't allow any of the tomato sprouts to grow.


After:


I may only have one blossom from this poor old Gardenia! But there is one!


Have a very happy new month!

    1. I've pruned it too much...or not enough. But given a good shot of fertilizer, some leaves came through!

  3. Reminds me of a very early post of mine: https://anvilcloud.blogspot.com/2004/07/remarkable-rose.html.
    The photo no longer links, but the wonder remains.
    I see that I re-posted this once -- several years later than the original.

    1. When I had a fever the other night, I could smell the gardenia in the next room...it was blasting out its scent so widely. And now of course it's almost dead. Mmm, so am I, perhaps.
