Garden Trek Log--Day 9




One of the nice side effects from all this rain we've been having, is that our flowerbeds around the house are looking great! My ferns look like they just picked up and moved from the Northwest woods, and the red dianthus in the water garden is looking so colorful, next to the bright yellow water lily which just decided to pop open and pretend it was sunshine today! Our local critters like it too--I spied a small rat snake rustling through the base of the ferns the other day. Bought a battery operated hooty owl to keep the raccoons from raiding hummer feeders. So far it hasn't scared the kitties one little bit, while it sits on the screened porch biding its time to patrol.
