It keeps raining just enough to annoy. On the plus side it is also enough to support the plants I transplant into containers. Today we only had rain for a little while. I would definitely like to buy more flowers soon. I have...

Good morning from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's almost noon here and 62 F. It's sunny and pleasant. I need a break before my mind explodes. I said I would be here today to find out how you all are doing. Yes, I've been writing...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 21 May

Or at least, our garden has. A pair of mallard ducks has taken a liking to our garden pond! Last year I did see a pair of ducks visit once or twice, but they didn’t stick around. But this year a pair – maybe the same ones – has...

What’s the stupidest argument you can remember?

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 25 Feb

Just talking about my mother in response to @AmbiePam’s post brought this to mind. We argued a lot. It got to the point where I’m convinced she would have argued that black was white if it was the opposite view to mine. When I...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 17 Nov

The forecast just keeps on changing and changing but I suspect it is true. There are robins all over the field and my yard right now. I have seen other birds as well, but we have not seen robins in months. I also realized that I...

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3480) • Eldoret, Kenya 16 Oct

Wild birds in my farm

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3480) • Eldoret, Kenya 10 Oct

Of late have realized that wild bids are liking my homestead. I think it is because of the few morsels I like to throw here and there. I also have a bowl for drinking and bathing. I think this is why bird population is increasing...

Those pesky birds!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 7 Oct

As I’m sure you know I love to watch the birds in the garden, and I’m happy to share with them especially when we have more than enough of some produce, but I just wish they would be a bit more considerate! We have three biggish...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 14 Sep

As the days shorten and temperatures are moderate I am seeing and hearing lots of critters. We have some cicadas this year, but they are nearly drowned out by the tree frogs. I am hearing more song birds. Everywhere in the yard...
