Putting away summer
I've spent the past few days cleaning up in anticipation of our first good rain since spring. It's hard to believe the rainy forecast when it was sunny warm, and I was out in a tank & shorts. Instead of the big structure I did last year to keep some youngin's dry, I'm trying a smaller pop-up tent. The one plant that truly needs to be completely dry for winter is Aloe Suzannae. It doesn't even like much summer water. I don't like to gossip, but Suzannae is a demanding wench. Rare to flower, cream colored and open at night. Does the tent please you, miss S? Since the greenhouse is full, this actually worked out -I put a a few more "winter dry is better" things in the pop-up with the aloe. Now, if it will hold up to wind, we will see. Swept and moved the couch. The eave above keeps this area from getting drenched. Greenhouse crammed, I haven't turned on the Christmas lights the past 2 years I guess I should remove them? The C9 bulbs...
