Flowers Everywhere
Okay so the vegetable garden is still in the planning stage but I have populated the front of the house with a LOT of flowers. The shady areas around the front porch are perfect for azaleas and inpatients, I love impatiens they do well in areas most would never bloom. I also added some coleus, does well in shade, and a birdbath and feeder under the big tree. I can sit on the porch and watch beautiful birds drink and eat. The other day we even had a large crane eating at the feeder for over 1/2 an hour. Of course the naughty squirrels are caught on the feeder daily spilling all the seed to the ground, I have a love/hate relationship with those squirrels!

It sounds like you are well on your way to having a southern plantation, wildlife and all. Squirrels are a pain, but they have to eat too. There are bird feeders that are made to be squirrel proof, but I have seen many pictures showing how the critters figure out how to defeat them. Don't forget to post some pictures.
ReplyDeleteI moved it farther from the tree branches, that has helped. I read that it is a good idea to provide them with cracked corn which they prefer over bird seed but I draw the line at encouraging them.
