Something I love about our street is that people work together to string holiday lights across the street from the roof of one home to another. Today was that day. In addition to the lights going up across the street, we put up our own along the front, in the apple tree, on a couple trellises and on the ivy and into the pigmy date palms. We also have some big ornaments we put in those date palms. I love watching them blow in the breeze, although sometimes it blows so hard that they blow right off.
We also added composted chicken manure and organic citrus fertilizer to all of the fruit trees. The lemon got an extra dose of humic acid (Gro-Power), as did the star jasmine. Also, several pots, the star jasmine, a camelia and a few other plants got some all purpose fertilizer (OsmoCote). Some rain would be welcome to really water that in well. This week we got some long awaited rain... 0.09 inches. I know... impressive.
