Re-Potted

Buddha got a new do. In my next life please.




















One Blue Elf Aloe purchased long ago became many. The ugly lower leaves were accumulating into unsightly. This I could fix. One became two new.




















Becoming many is good and after a bit of a wait the Thermopsis has begun to self sow. Not everybody will self sow in the competition of the Tall Flower Meadow.




















So what does one do with many Blue Elf Aloe?




















They got potted up of course. This is how house plants accumulate. But I am thinking they will need to be re-homed before the cold returns.




















The summer weed flowers have started to sprinkle all kind flowers through the meadows with the return of the warm. The floral just keeps building from here.




















The state of the roadside vegetable garden was assessed. The okra and cucumbers were obliterated by the hail. Those got direct reseeding. No time for potted births anymore. Six 'Red Defender' tomatoes replaced the mortally wounded. The first sowing of carrots failed. I sowed them again. Then just because and just in case, a whole bunch more squash seeds were plugged in. More mulch was spread.

There will be some fine produce of some kind at some point.




















And when it was all finished, two wicked thunderstorms rolled over the mountain. A sunflower and a bunch of parsnips fell down. No hail.

Thank goodness no hail. It is exciting to watch the flowers begin to bloom, nice surprises here and there. Button looks awfully cute sitting there by Buddah.

Thunderstorms scare me now. This may be about the fourth wicked hail storm since I have been here. At least they have remained pea sized.
