Greetings Gardening Friends

I live in northeastern Ohio where the weather can be a bit challenging at times. I live on five acres in the country but sometimes the size alone can be a bit daunting. I solved this problem a few years ago by putting in one raised bed to grow perennials. It was so successful that I added a second bed last year and grew vegetables. Again it was a great success. So this year I am adding two more beds and am really anxious to get started on this project. My dream is to enclose it in a picket fence and to add a potting shed. Not sure if I will get all this done this year but one can dream.

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…
