Re: Butterfly Junction
Wow, you are really lucky it turned. That burnt over area looks like it will grow back easily when the rain comes (if they ever do again), I don't see any tree stubs. So did the fire affect the high power lines?
I am very relieved you are ok, and home again. May the healing begin!

Re: Butterfly Junction
Some of the cats were evacuated and went to shelters. They were not happy campers. A few of them went with us and spent the week locked up in various bathrooms -- also not happy campers. One cat stayed with Bob and spent the week in cat heaven, with total freedom to roam (but still complained about it). The rest stayed home and never knew they were in danger. (Nobody was terrified but us ).donnainzone5 wrote:How is Sienna? I'll bet she was terrified! Or was she with you?
Re: Butterfly Junction
Okay, here's where we stand, now. Asparagus, fig trees, and redwoods survived. Bay plants are gone. In-ground artichokes died, but this little guy in a gallon pot (that I grew from seed) survived.
Why can't I post pics?
Well, this will now be a boring post.
One little kale plant survived.
Jicama made it through.
Butterfly host garden was decimated.

Re: Butterfly Junction
Nope. We got soooo lucky. Now the problem is foul air. We have to wear special masks in order to go outside, and there's no telling how long that will last with the Mendicino fire so close by. Talk about the summer from hell.AtlantaMarie wrote:At least you won't have to COMPLETELY start over...

I did a lot of things wrong last time. This disaster will give me an opportunity to correct a lot of mistakes.

Sorry for the duplicate.

Re: Butterfly Junction
And your improved soil is still there, so you will be starting from a better point both in resources and in knowledge.
{HUGS} it's a lot to process and deal with.

Re: Butterfly Junction
Thanks, Turan. We are exhausted -- mentally, physically, and emotionally. Can't even drive by the devastation. It's just too much to process.Turan wrote:And your improved soil is still there, so you will be starting from a better point both in resources and in knowledge.

Re: Butterfly Junction
I'm so relieved that you and your family are okay and that your house survived that dreadful inferno!
Re: Butterfly Junction
Thank you, Donna. This evening is the first time I've felt human in a very long time. As soon as the air quality clears up, I'll be ready to start fall planting.donnainzone5 wrote:I'm so relieved that you and your family are okay and that your house survived that dreadful inferno!
Re: Butterfly Junction
I'm glad you are feeling better now and even want to start your winter garden soon.

Interesting sidebar to this awful air quality: our figs are awful this year. I'm throwing them out, they're so bad. I'm guessing it's because we haven't seen the sun in 3 weeks -- just hazy, smoky air. It's bright enough to keep things from getting leggy or dying, and it's also kept the temps down a few degrees, but the fig trees are definitely not happy campers. Last night's news said that Mendocino fire could last for another 3 1/2 weeks. I sure hope the wind shifts, soon. We really need a break.
Re: Butterfly Junction
Smoky! 4-5 miles visibility for me and for you. I notice you have a new 80-acre Hirz Fire on the other side of I-5. There are 4,700 personnel battling your Carr fire - 177,450 acres - 48% contained
The "twin" fires, The Ranch and the River, total 250,000 acres burned.
My Ferguson Fire is 95,104 Acres and 79% contained. Yosemite National Park lives to see another day.

Geez! Hirz Fire? Really? I AM SO TIRED OF THIS! At least they're getting yours under control.
