Title: Rain, rain, go away... Post by: takncarabizniz on 02 22, 21, 03:08:43:PM It seems to be never ending. I managed to get outside yesterday for about 3 hours to "start" cleaning up storm damage. Filled the green can and made 4 trips to the burn pile with the wheel barrow and it still doesn't look like I've touched it.
Now the rain is back, in force...high winds, and rain all week forecast...I always thought Mother Nature protected her babies, but the amount of tree damaging is heartbreaking. My elderly neighbor lost a 50+ year old maple when a fir tree split it in half last weekend during the snowstorm. I haven't even been able to trim the fruit trees this year and my slash piles are about 5foot high already... Color me sad...

Post by: emilyB on 02 22, 21, 11:03:58:PM My arborvitae are thrashed - all bent over and two actually came down across the yard and also lost a big beautiful tree that came down in the corner. A team of neighbors sawed them up and cartedthem off for which I was very grateful. I will have to get all the thrashed ones trimmed down and leveled but finding that kind of labor at the moment is almost impossible - they are in high demand.

Post by: takncarabizniz on 02 23, 21, 10:55:29:AM My Wilma cypress trio is in the same boat. poor things started to suffer with the first big snow, now, all but 1 is drooped over and looks like its root ball is pushing up. I had tied them up but even that isn't helping.

The rains arrive here Saturday for most the weekend. |
