Re: Loss


Oh Jim!
   I am so sorry for your loss.  It is never easy to lose  something that you 
have loved for so long and cherished.  I guess it was  just her time.  And I 
bet she will be watching what you will put there and  help you take care of a 
new life.

Asian  scale finally did in the old queen sago. I yanked all the fronds 
off  earlier today so the yard-trash patrol could haul them away. The 
scale,  which blows easily, was so thick in the air that it looked like 
a mini  snow storm. Now we have a gaping hole in the barrier between the 
front  patio and the street.

Site will have to be cleaned up before we decide  what to plug the hole 
with. Fortunately, Cycas genus [essentially king and  queen sagos in my 
neighborhood] are the only plants that seem to fall  victim to the 
scale, so the infestation will eventually die out without  further 
consequence I suspect and won't be a problem for whatever the  
replacement is.
