Re: orchid/weather/yard
Thanks for the offer, Judy, but I'll defer to the women.

Mr. Singer,
Do Phalenopsis grow for you? I have one languishing in my bathroom you
can
have. Pretty magenta with white striped lip. Definitely not happy
here. Let me
know if you want it. I've decided I should enjoy the blooms & not feel
guilty
if they don't do well.
Andrea & Noreen,
let me know if either of you would like some of my hand me down
orchids. I
usually buy pink or white phalenopsis or dendrobiums.
We had some nice weather last week. mid 80s to low 90s. 90s & 100s
again this
week. Wildfire in the canyons so the air is full of smoke. Trying to
get the
weeds down to an unobtrusive level. Ed dug out the area by the street
and laid
weed barrier & bark mulch over the past few weeks. Looking a little
better.
It's been a mess since the city did utility work a couple years ago.
Kitty, how did your street work situation turn out?
My birch (by the street) & pine trees (west side of house) are dying.
Borer
infestations. Will have the big birches out when the tree service can
get to
us. There will be some open space for some small trees or large
shrubs. I'm
looking at 'Nikita's Promise' persimmon and saturn peaches, maybe a
small
bamboo or some grass. The Cornus Florida have seedlings there too.
I think I'll underplant the pines with rhododendron, & witch hazel.
Maybe some
clump bamboo there too.
