Garden blog

It's the last days of Spring or the first days of Summer.    Days are getting hotter - some hitting the high eighties!!  whew

Not much has happen with my big PLANS.

We hired a contractor to build my potting bench next to the shed but so far, he has the money but the work hasn't started!!!  Ugh!

I have given up on my row boat pond.  Maybe next year!

I ordered glow in the dark stepping stones for my path to the gazebo.  They should arrive soon and then I can get started on the path.  

Memorial weekend, I went to the Baltimore herb fest and bought a white bleeding heart and two sweet woodruff plants planted them around the gazebo I hope they survive.  They should make a nice addition to my moon garden around the gazebo. 



Wisteria Growing on Gazebo

Looking forward to some cool early morning walk around my garden this summer.

Garden book I'm reading when the sun goes down:

National Wildlife Federation's Gardening for Wildlife

As for the birding

Didn't get to do any warbler birding this Spring!  Bah! Humbug!   But warm weather has sent a lot of birds to my birdbaths!  Enjoying the company!
