Well, the Farmer's Almanac did say we would have a mix of weather. Now it feels like spring. We are supposed to get rain tomorrow.
I went next door and trimmed the palm trees for my neighbor. We are going to a new trash and yard waste system in January and I want to have everything cleaned up before it starts. I need to vigorously trim our Live Oak as well. I compost our grass clippings and our leaves always so that won't be an issue. They tell us not to put loose leaves in the yard waste receptacle, but to buy biodegradable bags to put them in. Seriously? I would never buy those bags even if I did throw away leaves, but try telling these 70's, 80's, & 90's folks to start spending their hard-earned money on such things and you are going to get some negative feed-back.
I cannot believe how many plants reseeded in the garden. I counted 30 Four O' Clocks in one area. The Nigella Damascena is coming up all over too. Even the Sweet Alyssum! By far the Red Fountain Grass and the Kalanchoe has it beat.
I spied one little Morning Glory in bloom today. Precious!
Peace & Plenty.
