Feb 28th Sunday: Workers came today to cut up the fallen boganvilea(sp) & truck them out of here along with other piles of yard debris. Joey was able to find some guys that have a chain-saw & would work on Sundays. Just like home, yeah right.
It took four truckloads of plant/weed debris to clean it all out. They used a pickup truck but they packed it up pretty full each time. Joey was helping to cut everything into smaller pieces so they could fit more on each truckload.
They charged 200 pesos for each load. About $16 USD per load.
The front patio…well, most of the front wall is now BALD! No more beautiful red flowers.
There were some pretty red birds in the yard this morning though. They helped my mood a bit! Trying to be a little pollyanaish. Is that a word? Well, it is now.
We’re going to try to plant some new ones but it will be a couple of years before the new ones will be prolific. By then the house , hopefully, will be sold. The boganvilea was a nice visual and would have added to the sales appeal.
Plants DO grow well here in Alamos so maybe it won’t be as long as I’m thinking.
We found out it’s easy to kill the worms by mixing laundry soap with water & pouring it at the base of trees . It doesn’t seem to hurt the trees, only the worms. If we had only known before we lost them.
