Starting The Spring Bloomer Cut Back.
It was a nice evening to start cutting
back some of the spring bloomers and
clean out the beds! One corner is
completed.

People, People, People!!!
This past week we had a couple folks
just drop by, no appt.! Walked pass the
no trespassing signs, I guess it's time to
turn on the alarms?
The first guy wanted to know if we wanted
landscaping or help? I let my husband deal
with him as I was just shaking my head.
You look at our yard and think we need
landscaping or help? NO! To me that
was an insult or was he just fishing?
Last night there were two guys looking
to wash our windows. Nice guys so I
took time with them and the one kid
kept asking if I sell plants/flowers? I
asked, do I look like I need my windows
cleaned? Do I look like I need a new
roof or gutters? As well as we keep
our property up?? If you want to talk
garden, plants or whatever, make an
appointment. These are our private gardens.
Again I'm a hybridizer so what you
see is what has been created, you won't
find a lot of this in retail shops. Our yard
is 35+ years of work and didn't happen
over night. We are a test garden and yes,
you can find is on the web. We have a
working garden and test for other hybridizers.
We watched the cameras as they left
and they didn't stop at our neighbors.
Make an appointment!
Or should I be asking where you live
and come visit you without making
an appointment??? Or just maybe I
should start charging for my time?
Sorry, I just shake my head! Folks
that know me know I work hard and
love to educate folks.
Make an appointment!!

NO Appointment!! Walked past the
2 No Trespassing signs besides our
karma 'Happy Toes' Garden sign that
reads make an appointment! These are
our private gardens.
What is with folks these days? Again
today a person shows up trying to sell
us extermination, I watch him go into
the yard and all I could say is did you see
any bugs while you were in my yard?
Come on, you state you are an
environmentalist. It got to the point
I asked him to leave, not once but 3 times.
Again did you see any bugs in our yard??

A Couple Requests......
A couple folks have requested a list
of flowers that bloom each month as
we have something blooming all the
time.
One person asked how do we keep
the yard so weed free. Look again
there is a bumper crop of dandelions
and thistle out there! We even have
strange grass growing which we never
had before. When I pointed it out, they
were amazed. I have to use Roundup to
try to kill it. I have had to use more
Chemicals these past few years than I
have in the past 35+ years we have lived
here.
I will be adding more post when I get time
as I'm currently dealing with a couple of
family members medical emergencies.
Hummingbirds
Yesterday while deadheading I
had a pair of hummingbirds visit.
The female landed next to me on
the tomato cage while the male
buzzed me to go in. But the female
just sat there, I could hear a noise
coming from her. I slowly moved
to the other side of her and she didn't
move, soon the male joined her. I
was shocked that they both sat there
watching, they must of approved.
I deadheaded two rose bushes before
they flew off. What scared them off
was a couple local cats were trying to
sneak into the yard. Time for more
soap and pepper to go out.
I have had a female in the past come
sit on my shoulder and learned that the
long hair needs to be up!
I just love to see all the birds playing
in our yard! My favorite is the hummingbirds
and the yellow lowland finches.
Sad to say this but today I had to pick up
the 6th dead bird.

The visit numbers have gone up
but the page visits don't match.
Let's now add UK and USA.
I just shake my head! Maybe it's
time Google and Microsoft start
looking into what they are allowing
to happen??
