I'm glad you only lost part of your pear tree. Your summer garden is fabulous, I love your paradise garden and the lush tropical effect of that fabulous foliage.chlorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037607962980090244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-5913887234436157122020-09-03T18:56:09.949-05:002020-09-03T18:56:09.949-05:00Thanks, Pam, for your kind words -- I'm so gla...Thanks, Pam, for your kind words -- I'm so glad you stopped by! :-)<br />-BethGarden Fancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283184170369157189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-83508021603660109272020-09-01T21:36:20.301-05:002020-09-01T21:36:20.301-05:00I hope your garden is fully recovered from the win...I hope your garden is fully recovered from the windstorm now, Beth.

But you are indeed lucky, living north of here where you do, that it wasn't worse. I hope the cleaning up isn't too hard.

We're just north of Clarence, lost power until Friday afternoon, one metal shed blew away otherwise minor building damage but lots of trees large and small gone or severely damaged. We'll be cleaning those up for weeks. Compared to surrounding damage (grain bins/shops/outbuildings damaged if not destroyed, trees on houses, crops flattened), we were lucky. One good thing out of it - I realize compared to cleaning this up, weeding isn't so bad!JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-68262343876642754742020-08-19T09:11:24.288-05:002020-08-19T09:11:24.288-05:00Hi Beth, I do start some Nicotiana from seed each ...Hi Beth, I do start some Nicotiana from seed each year, the pink or purple kinds, but the white ones are all volunteers from those I planted several years ago. And I do have several jasmine ans gardenia plants around my patio too -- they do smell wonderful! Hope you're making some progress cleaning up your tree damage.
