Sharing the Wealth With My Animal BuddiesIs it my imagination, or are many of the birds who hang out in my yard getting rotund? I know the squirrels are kept busy with acorns from the huge old White Oak. (I actually used one of those botanical classification questionnaires several years ago to figure out what kind of oak it is) The bunnies seem to be getting plenty of food, too. Between the rugosa hips, ornamental grass, Rose of Sharon hedge and leftover wildflower seeds in my wildflower garden, even winter is a feast! I know summer was plentiful for them, because they ate most of my blueberries, all of my grapes and had their fair share of my cherries, strawberries and blackberries. This summer I think a little tough love is in order... a better netting system for the grapes and blueberries will probably be enough.I've also fenced in my veggie garden. I still love to share with them, although the sharing to them means taking all they want and THEN leaving something IF any is leftover for me! All they have to do is make their cute little animal sounds and frolic playfully in the sunshine and I smile like an indulgent grandparent at them! I am probably imagining this, but I could swear that my little gardening pal, a robin, has returned to hang out while I'm outside...waiting patiently for me to turn on the hose and begin weeding, watering and tending his "worm collection"...my garden! Hmmm...sounds like I have too much time on my hands! Actually, I spend most of the day teaching and tutoring! There's always time to tune in to nature and to stop and smell the roses, though.

What a friendly garden. I too notice the number of birds and critters that our city garden attracts. Surprising how much well kept diversity we can create with very little effort. Login or register to leave a comment. |
