Stump Report on Nature Friday

 


Above is The Stump, after Milton and the tree that came down.
Below is a photo from this week,  9 weeks later


The rocks were hidden under all the debris, I cleared it and planted ferns, and weeds and flowers from other parts of our yard.


Above is Moss Rose, you saw it growing in the ground, in the front yard behind the stump they removed. It was 1/3 the size it is now when I transplanted it 5 weeks ago. I had no idea how moss rose can spread so quickly.


These are weeds that are growing every where right now. We are still in drought, and they are drought resistant and wow do they grow with ever other day I water them with the hose

three types of weeds transplanted when 6 inch size, now 12 to 16 inches tall. I dug them up from the other side of the yard.

What's along the fence around the stump. Rememeber the dead and dying hibiscus?


Changed by a few weeks of watering. and check out the new growth


Before the storm, I rescued these 4 palms from the curb of a house that threw them out. They have been waiting to be planted. Soon I will transplant a long the fence.
Side yard, still a work in progress.

Notice behind the trees, Nature is doing her thing, all it needs is water

You missed your calling. You should have been a landscaper. It looks so much better, and I can't see how it could have been done any better.

I know this blesses your heart, seeing the plants coming back. You have worked hard and your labor is paying off....Hopefully, in no time at all, your back yard will be full of blooming flowers.

I love how everything is bouncing back. A little TLC and lots of elbow grease does a great job. Things in order really will give you a sense of peace.

You have been busy and everything looks so nice. I love that shoot coming out of the tree branch. You are so right all nature needs is water.

Alpha and Omega! Or better, like the mythical Phoenix, rising from the ashes. Your soil's like their spa!
These illustrations give so much hope to seeming decay.
