July 2023 Garden Update

Last Friday, a massive storm blew through Kansas City. I looked outside and thought we were in the middle of a hurricane. Everything looked like it was literally being tipped sideways and flying down the street. What resulted was massive tree damage and no power for several days. Thankfully, we had very little damage, aside from some large branches falling down. But the winds did not help my poor plants. They still are standing sideways today.

But plants are resilient, and they’ll bounce back. Before the storm blew through, I took my July garden update pictures.

Everybody has fared pretty well so far! Now I’m off to do some staking of my flowers that tipped over during the storm. 🙂

  1. Your plants are doing real well! Mine are struggling since we have had lots of torrential downpours. Luckily they are pretty resilient but I feel like the harsh rains strip most of the petals off the flowers before I really get to enjoy them.
