little discoveries today
Hello fellow garden lovers! Hope your gardening is going well! So far, so good for me!
Today was fun while watering my little beauties...................Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars have hatched on my bronze leaf fennel!!! I love the fact that my efforts pay off.........
Don't you just love God's creations and the blessings that come with hard work and persistence, even ones as small as a caterpillar?!
Meanwhile, I hope to have so much of everything that I have planted, that I can share it, give it away or maybe even sell it................eggplant, banana peppers, squash, green beans...........and many, many herbs and flowers!
Most everything that died back severely this past winter has come back. And those that haven't have been replaced. My roses have surprised me this year by blooming prolifically! They need to be moved, but not until, at the earliest, in September.
There have only been a few pests - so far! And they are not really "bugging" me too much.......hopefully they won't be too bad the rest of the summer either.........good luck on that one! And some of the pesky birds have not even graced my backyard. I am, however, having difficulty encouraging the song birds to come and feed. But I will give them time!
Well, time to get back out there before it gets too hot to work!
Talk to you all soon!!!
