Beautiful Oriole in Ohio

 

Holy Cow! This hummingbird feeder is always the busiest spot in our garden. From sun up to sundown orioles, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds swing by for a sugary sip.

Wild Winter of 2026 is Over

 

 

Hip Hip Hurray! I had to wait 3 years but alas the delicious spears of asparagus are on the rise. Oddly, rising from the bed on Easter weekend. 

 

Daffodils always arrive first! 

 

These flowers smell better than honey. 

 

My strawberry plant survived the harsh winter. Raised it up to keep the snails and slugs off. 

 

Mr. Sunshine is coming our way! 

 

Where dig the big tree go? Strong winds brought it down- maybe a fruit try in its place- any suggestions? 

 

Yikes- strong wind took down our privacy fence. My work is never done... 

 

Lettuce patch planted- a bit of Arrugala and Red Russian Kale also. 

 

Battered from the hellacious winter, Frogboy stands guard for yet another summer. 

 

Holy Lysenkoism ! My Duborskian Upland rice arrived today- yes the Russian enginneered variety will grow on terra firma sans rice paddy. Yippie- now I just need a water buffalo...
