We Had an Earthquake! Instagram Account Hacked!

I am an sesoned gardner with over 20 years of experience with having my own garden. But also my childhood were filled with flowers and gardens. I want to say thank you for making my days brighter.
I do have a few questions. I might have missed i, if asked befor, . if so sorry for repeating them.
1. Are you planning to paint your Gazebo to match everything else?
2. Your white garden, (moonlight) do you plan to plant yellow foliage plants? A part of my garden I call sunshine garden. I have stuck to theme of white flowers. Some pale yellows, and because of my Hostas pale lavender. In works like a charm together. So beautiful. It makes it pop a bit more during daytime. :) All day interest.
Physocarpus varieties in yellow are gorgeus. They look awesome with minor Clematis trailing in them. I call it borrowed flowers.
I get that Clematis can struggle a bit with your high temps and dry air in summer, but it is definately work the try. Whites, pale yellow or lavender colored ones would rock it.
3. Some ferns can stand a bit more of your climate. I havent seen you try some in your garden. I know the soil is dryer underneath the trees. They do love shade mostly. However I love testing the bondraries in the garden. Have you ever tried it or considered it?
4. When you say the plantnames in english. Could you add on the botanical names. I am from Norway, even tho my english is fine, names on plants is something different. I know this might be daunting. But it let you speak with gardners all over the world. I know you do a few.
Whew that was a lot.
I used to do talks about garden design, I have now retired. ( im not 50 yet, itjust made me sound so old. LOL: :D ) I grew tiered of it. Traveling all over Norway.
It brings me much happiness to see you develope the garden.
Lots of love and kind regards from Norway. Hug.

I live in So Cal and was raised in Nor Cal, where we have lots of fault lines and a history of big earthquakes. I dont know that anyone really gets used to them. I think that some people (like me) find them exciting and interesting and serious but not terrifying, and some people complete hate them and get very scared to even consider them. I think people who move here who have never felt even a little one may not know which type of person they are until theyve felt it? When I think if all the natural disasters, I really would prefer earthquakes over tornados, and especially over wildfires. We get wildfires and occasional flooding/erosion here in CA along with earthquakes, and I am thankful not to have hurricanes and tornados. Earthquake is the one you can really be best prepared for, and maybe even prepare your buildings and homes to survive a quite large one, but unfortunately I think many people who live in an area with earthquakes are still underprepared for them (my friend hangs picture frames above her beds and couches and I think thats just sad! You were very far from the epicenter and I can tell your house didnt shake too hard by your hanging lights, but 6. 0+ is pretty dang big, so I know you felt the rolling waves for a nice long time! Its a weird feeling, right? We more frequently get small, nearby jolts in my area.

With a daughter living just north of San Francisco and a son stationed in Alaska, I researched earthquake preparedness and shared some of the sites with them. The most surprising thing I learned was NOT to run and flee the building but to duck under something sturdy like a table during an earthquake - something to protect you. Obviously, you would get Benjamin, but don't attempt to flee the house. The state of California has excellent sites to teach how to prepare your home for an earthquake (secure bookshelves, wide screen TV's to the wall, etc. I'm not sure where you live, but the whole west coast is full of volcanoes and hot springs so it's just a really good idea to prepare.

California here. I never have gotten used to earthquakes. The area I live in now there has been only 2 in 15 years. I have felt 10 total and been within 5 miles of center 4 times. they have mostly been 5 or less The worst was a 6. 5 in 1971 I was 12 miles from the center. It lasted several seconds and there was a lot of damage. It was one of the rolling kind like yours. Most are jolts and last 2 or 3 seconds with no damage. I have been in 2 tornadoes 1 hurricanes and 3 floods & an unknown major storms in my 72 years you never get used to any danger. My guess your son won't remember none of mine did before they were 5 years old.

Access to plants is a challenge right now. My garden center does offer curbside pickup, which forced me to make a list of THE most essential things for my garden. I wonder if anyone else is doing that, making a list of what is essential to their garden heart. Mine is very short compared to a normal year.
mason bees
lady bugs
G&B soil conditioner
sedum ogen
thyme
begonia
fuchsia gartenmeister
coleus Color Blaze WIcked Hot
coleus Color Blaze Rediculous
lobelia magadi electric blue
lobelia laguna (lucia) dark blue
portulaca sundial fuchsia
Is anyone else making such a list?

I agree whole heartedly regarding the play set. We had one for our kids and it was used very occasionally maybe when other kids came to play. Take them to parks to play and change it up so they dont get bored. What I do highly recommend is putting in a large, deep sand box. I mean a really good sized one. You will not regret it, but youll need a cover or the cats will be delighted to use it. Our kids played for hours in the sand box, day after day after day. And make sure there is a hose near by because mixing water and sand is the best! They will be very dirty children but happy.

we had the same thing here in ontario(canada not Oregon) lmao! in 2010! there was a earthquake in the bottom of lake Ontario and it was so weird! i was waiting for my mom to get off work that day and i felt like someone was kicking my chair from behind. anyways that was not the case and then i realized that the chairs in the room started rattling along with other sign posts and pictures. it was a small one so if you were walking/running or sleeping you would not have felt it. we were told in the next 50 years there is suppose to be a worse one.

Living in the Bay Area we have had many earthquakes, but they are most of the time years apart except for the 89 quake. Ill never forget that one. They are scary! On that earthquake my son was kindergarten and he saved his sister life by grabbing her and pulling her under the table with him ( Gracie was 2 1/2 years old) I was in my bedroom setting the vcr for the baseball game. That was a devastating earthquake. Was everything ok in your home? I have to tell you Im soooo excited to start planting in our yards: ) stay safe and healthy: )

The first earthquake I experienced was in Egypt. I was pregnant with my daughter and on bedrest. I was half asleep in bed when it happened. I started freaking out because I just knew there was a ghost moving under the bed. Lol. It didn't last long, and I fell back to sleep. I didn't realize it was an earthquake until later when my husband told me about it. Also, I grew up calling a weed eater a weed wacker. Interesting how things are called different things in different places.

I'm laughing about the earthquakes. Yes, you get used to them to a point. The rolling ones are the best. The hard shaky ones aren't fun. The ones where you're on the fault line and you feel it drop before it shakes is scary (these are rare. California native here and I've been through my fair share. We had a huge Earthquake when I was little 9. 0 that unleveled our apartment building.
Our houses are also made of only wood here, so they're made to rock and roll.
