Well, I ran out and covered my plumeria and all my precious babies. Took care of my critters because it was forecasted to be in the upper 20's, here last night. They survived but the plumeria had some blossoms break off. The guys helped me move her today, into the gh for the winter. The Brug gets to stay outside, but I'm going to mulch it good, and will continue to cover it. Totally forgot to cover the outside fuchsia, but they were deep in mulch and look fine.
While I was at Lowe's today I saw potting soil that has the corn gluten already mixed in it. Boy howdy, is it expensive too!
Now for the next storm.
This is too good not to share even if I don't have a proper photo. I was up at 6:30 am, this morning, and looked out the kitchen window and saw 3 little hummers playing in the second tier of the fountain.
I will send a photo of the fountain where I saw them. It was just barely dawn breaking and these three birds are frolicking in the water. I guess it didn't freeze last night after all. It was a lovely way to start the day, even though I went back to bed with some hot choc.
You can see my poor little bay tree that I need to move too. It's still covered with a sheet. Think I'll let the Bower vine have that corner. BTW, the side of the fountain on the right receives the morning sun.
WIB!
