How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

A passing thunderstorm and we received almost an inch of rain in under an hour.

The other morning glories are growing tall in their pots. Not these.

Even though morning glories can be planted in full sun, the ones in the pots don't seem to like the humidity.

The morning glories on the trellis are not bothered by the heat and humidity

I had brought in all the lawn gew gaws due to the storm, but forgot to bring in the cardinal whirligig. Seems he was protected by the trellis.

The garden kites didn't get blown away though they are no longer practicing social distancing.

The yard cart filled with dirt was supposed to brace the morning glories from being blown over.

Timber!

Besides the morning glories being toppled, leaves and small branches were the only remnants of the storm in my yard.

My area was on the wind side of the storm so we got very little rain. ,05 inches of rain. The top wind of the anemometer only registered 26 mph. I think the meter is too close to the house and is somewhat protected. Wind gusts measured by the weather dudes was from 40 to 60 mph. 

Electricity got knocked out Tuesday night around 6 pm. Reports around town were lots of trees had fallen across the major roads in town and had taken out the power lines. Electricity was restored in my area by 4:30 Pm on Wednesday. Other areas in town didn't get power until Thursday.

Some areas in Connecticut and Long Island won't see power restored until this coming Tuesday 😱

Dedo and the hydrangeas survived.

Some bunny must have eaten a morning glory seed and left one behind in the weeds near the garage.

A new bunny is proving Erma Bombeck's adage. The grass is always greener over the septic tank. How do I know this is a new, little bunny? Clover has a white dot on her forehead. Gumdrop has a white and a black dot on his forehead. This little bunny has no markings and is called Cardamom
