From 8am til 11am I was on the phone with uttility company. They trimmed the limbs off the electric lines following the storms here. The problem was all the extremely large limbs were left in my back yard. They cover more than half the yard! My newly planted flower garden is buried under all the limbs. They had my young pecan tree bent over under the limbs! I saved the pecan tree but the limbs are too big for me to uncover my flower bed! I can't even see it!
I stayed on the phone all morning and they promised to be out today but they are a NO SHOW! I will give them until 10am tomorrow then I'll try to get the news out here. They cleaned everyones yard off except mine. I was the last for the day. I feel so cheated because they told me they would clear it off before they quit for the day. Enough crying!!!
I did get another flower bed started in the front. Will go to the nursery tomorrow to get plants. I put seed in for vegetables today and flower seed out. I can't seem to find just the right place for an herb garden. Got the seeds started in pots.
I made paper pots for the seeds. I saw it on the home & garden show. It was really easy and you just put the whole thing down in the ground. Hope it works out ok..lol.. I made 46 pots and filled them all!!!!
My pictures of this mess in my yard is posted in book "April" check it out!!
Good day to you all..I am headed for the shower..I think I stink!!!..lol.....Carol

What a shame, will the utility company reimburse for any damages? Even with that diversion, you certainly accomplished a lot...Try not to look at the limbs...:) ~Andrea |

Keep calling and try to talk to the line maintenance manager, not just a receptionist in the main office. Some times it takes a little creative calling, like say I think there is a line down or say my service is flickering. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

Honey, no wonder you are so mad. They left a mess in your yard. Your hollyhock is a beauty. |

Horror! I'd certainly raise some heck and expect some kind of reimbursement! I'll hunt the pics. |
