Gardening

One thing I can’t live without

Moonflower I grew

I love gardening.

My family was all farmers.

I’m part Cherokee.

My grandma really tought me and my mom wasn’t bad.

I can never come away from it. I think I can but it’s just part of me.

I’m just in a little apt but I have a lot going on even though I’ve downsized.

It’s really fascinating watching all the wildlife come in. During migration season.

I live for my hummingbirds.

I’d really like to plant stuff for them.

I love making craft too like making stepping stones for example.

I’m always collecting things. Leaves. Flowers. Rocks. Shells. Cats lol.

We have a female black squirrel for a few yrs now.

I would love to get my master gardeners certification.

I’m getting my associates in horticulture.

I have a little bonfire that I do from time to time. I just go around cleaning up the parks and using it as firewood.

We’ve had a wren coming around for a few yrs now.

Sunflowers are easy and there really good for wildlife.

I have lots of wind chimes including a really big one.

Butterfly house. A bat house.

I even bought a picnic table for the apartment area.

I’d like to buy over 100 bulbs and plant them sometimes.

I’ve devided up my sedum and spread them out. I even asked a lady if I could have some of her day lilies and I planted them around the apartments.

I live reading poems about the different seasons, on horticulture and gardening.

Now is about the time you can really hear the birds singing before bed.

The nighthawks singing at night.

The swifts twilting during the day.
