Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Jan. 11

Happy Saturday, everyone! Today is landscaping and puttering day (mostly). The fires have been on my mind, and it's been a while since we discussed landscaping and preparation for fire and other emergencies. The photos above and below are from Norman Winter. Entry landscaping. I guess you can think about whether anything would fall during high winds.

By-Tor caught some of the Santa Ana winds. From earlier this week:

Ok, going on three days now, and I’m about done with this wind. It blew a tile off my roof on to my car. I know it’s not the same as what people in LA are dealing with, but it’s getting old.

Some palm trees are more wind-resistant than others. Plan when planting.

Wind damage . . . . Sorry, By-Tor.

Do you need to do some of these kinds of things?
