Hey everyone come on over to "Birds in the Garden" I think you might enjoy it! Bonnie
Barb..did you get the tag so you can share the name of this lovely? I like the dwarf since I don't have a lot of room and this is just such an unusual color I would love to find one :-)
What an unusual color for hydrangea! Delicate blush pink - lovely.
Love this color of Hydrangea! I don't have any in my yard yet and wanted to add this year but I didn't. It I could find one this exact color I would love it!
Sheryl...that must be REALLY cute when the birds are on it looking like they are sitting on a birdie sized bench!
Barbara...I guess I didn't photograph the open side very well. LOL! Yes, the arch on the end is open and the hole is about 3" wide by 4" tall. (middle photo) I hope that the birds will find it to their liking!
The only thing I haven't had come to my feeders this year is hummingbirds!!!!! I've seen one only and that was about a month ago.....other than that I've had: Robins, Cardinals, Finches (purple and gold) sparrows, brown headed cowbirds, grackles, st…
My Brother made this for me a few years ago. I found the pattern in a magazine, gave it to him and the next week he had it done. :) He is so good at woodworking. I need to re-paint it again this winter.

I Live in the Pacific Northwest close to the coast in Washington State where we get about 120-140 inches of rain a year so we plant things that will survive the rain. Hydrangeas, Azeleas, Rhodys,Ferns and yes moss in the lawn all do quite well. I love Iris and this year because we are having a nice dry spell, they are putting on quite a show as are my daffodills and tulips, which are through blooming now. After joining this group I'm ready to dig everything up and replant but I'm afraid I wouldn't survive so will just have to enjoy what I have.
I love this time of year when all the perennials are blooming and all of the trees leaf out, and we do have trees..this is a logging town and you can't see the mountains for all the trees.
This is also the town where the book Twilight was written about so we are over run with young twilighters, I haven't read the book but it has brought a lot of people, mostly young, to our small town.
I'm ready to add pictures and would love to hear from anyone in this group

Bright sunny day
It looks like it's going to be another beautiful day here in the NW...spent a couple of hours taking out blackberries that had invaded the rhodies on the lower level and still have more to go and still have to mow the hayfield, then have to mow the lawn again so things look all spiffy for the 4th......have a new pot of sugar water brewing for those baby hummers as they are now emptying two a day, one large one and another smaller one. they are spoiled little guys as they like homemade better tha… Continue

Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!
Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…
