Strawberry pot


Scalped a strawberry pot from one of the Rummage sales and gonna try this as well. Drilled some holes in the bottom. Used a small piece of PVC with some holes drilled in it and some fish tank gravel (uncolored) in the middle for watering. Got some HUGE strawberry plants and hoping for the best!

Small 3 ft area that needed help


Here we redid the small area on the north side of the house. Looks MUCH better... Now no need to mow on this side of the house. Shady area so hostas and some more impatients.

Patio completed images



Busy busy here as always here are the finished patio images...FINALLY!

However it was getting dark and sprinkling so they are a big hard to see.

Mutant Rhubarb I planted last summer


Here's a pix of my Mutant Rhubarb I got off freecycle last year. It liked the spot it was planted in... obviously! Soon to be Rhubarb cake, and I will be using the leaves as a mold for XL concrete stepping stones. Happy Spring all!

Cowbird pair having some seed


Here they are....

Cowbirds in the grass

We have new visitors to the birdfeeder. Haven't had this particular bird here before. Probably looking for a nest to leave their eggs in of course.
