As I pulled this up a weather alert shone on the phone - thunderstorm warning. No sirens going off, so it's a general announcement for the region. I put out fertilizer this afternoon so the rain could soak it in, as is happening now. I think pots are positioned to get rain but not catch rain off the edges of the roof (no gutters).

This week coming up is our quarterly bulky waste pickup (Charmion's branches would be eligible - pile them at the curb and a truck picks them up.) I don't know if I have much to go now, I've been cutting things up and stuffing into the trash can for weeks instead of waiting for all at once.
