How Does Your Garden Grow?



A couple of new, crisp garden kites.


The TARDIS coated with pollen. Achoo!


Queen Ann's lace


Now what the hell did she buy?


The snowball bushes have avalanched. When these bushes bloomed they were laden with bees. Not a single bee buzzing around.


The garden kites weathered well in this week's wind and rain


The squirrel hasn't disturbed the stone towers.


The honeysuckle vine ready to burst. When it does, it will look like it's on fire.


The squash needs to be replanted.


A new garden flag for the Zensical garden


An inch or so of rain for this week's rain total. The pill bottle worked


The mountain laurel doesn't look that great overall, but it bloomed.


Himself moved the squash moved to its own trough. Hopefully, it will survive the transplant


I filled the feeder and threw some seed on the ground. The cardinal showed up for dinner.

  4. Your honeysuckle is amazing! I had to take my peanut chip feeder down, as the squirrels finally figured out how to get to it *sigh* That leaves a single feeder they haven't gotten to yet, and it's adjustable so maybe it'll be safe. The cardinals are such a bright spot, aren't they!

    1. I don't worry if the squirrels or chipmunks get at the feeders. May it's an Italian thing. Abbondanza! Everybody eats. The cardinals this season seem to be shy. I don't always see them, but I can hear them. They always bring a smile when they show up.

    2. It was different when we had more space -an actual yard, but the squirrels will overwhelm our little patio if we let them. And the feeder is so close to the house they tend to then try to get into attics to nest. Everybody eats, that's true, but there's just not enough room for everybody to eat _here_ ;)

    3. They can be quite pesty and do a lot of damage if they get inside the house.

  5. Lovely garden kites. (Teddy said to tell you he likes the one with the bear on it.) My car had pollen like that on it. Then the rain washed it down onto the sides, leaving a streaky mess. Your garden plants look great. Honeysuckle smells heavenly. How do you keep the animals from eating your squash? Yesterday I saw the male and female Cardinal in my bird feeder at the same time.

    1. The vegetables are in a metal horse trough that rests on top of saw horses. Himself has also put mesh wire around the troughs. The troughs are outside the sun room windows and we're always in the sun room so perhaps the proximity to the house and the noise we make going in and out or the television may keep the critters away.
