I spent the day prepping the house and yard for Isaias
I moved all our lightweight potted plants to wind-sheltered locations
and took all our yard art indoors so hit couldn't become a missile.
Then, I harvested all of the cut-flowers, and trimmed their plants back to three feet of lower so they would have less mass and be less likely to get flatted.
The large bowls of cut-flowers help make the house look really cheery.
Next I tackled harvesting all my herbs which are in their peak of summer growth.
I put all the soft herbs like basil into large bowls of water so that they would stay fresh until I had time to process them into pesto, or infuse them into oils.
The remaining culinary herbs were hung to dry
from a pot rack above our kitchen sink.
They make the house smell just heavenly.
