I've had these little bistro tables for years. You may know that I've recently been taking a closer look at them -- I've had to while adding the wooden top.
Last weekend was the planter box. The weekend before that was this bench.
One of the disadvantages of having a garden full of wildlife is the "wild" part. They just don't seem to understand the limits that I have set for them.
You know how I've been making a lot of things out of wood (and some other materials) lately? Well, my goal is to make something new every weekend. Since I haven't posted a project for a couple of weeks, that means that I've got a couple of projects to post about this week.
I've seen plenty of young rabbits this year, and had some experience with baby deer too. I've seen baby mice, watched tiny toads emerge from the pond, heard lots of baby birds -- the house wrens just raised another brood in the wren house under the deck -- but one thing I don't get too see too often is young turtles.
One of the things that I love about having a garden is the amount of tiny wildlife it attracts. I've found so many fascinating and beautiful insects and arachnids out there, sometimes I just have to share.
If you've been following me for a while, you have heard me talk about weeding, planting, pruning, raking, mole and mouse removal -- pretty much anything having to do with gardening. What you don't read about too often is spraying, because I rarely do it.
Along with the tropical plants that I recently added to my collection came a bonus...
Although I haven't shown it to you this year, my driveway behind the house is where I keep all of the plants that I intend to plant or pot up. Sometimes these are propagated plants: seedlings, cuttings, divisions. Sometimes these are plants that I purchased that have been languishing in their tiny nursery pots for months, waiting to go into the ground or a container.
