Remember this lovely garden I planted this spring and there were wonderful treasures hidden in the ground? It has been few months and I wanted to show you what this has turned into!
I'm pretty impressed with the garden. My neighbors are always giving me compliments on it. I will say my water bill has gone up these past few weeks as we got into the 90s, but fall is upon us and I won't have to water as much.
I have a neighbor who has bee hives. The bees have found my fountain to be a free water spot! At any given time (during the day) you can usually see 20 bees sipping at the fountain. It is kinda intimidating to see so many bees gathered. It is fun to sit on the bench an watch them. I need to get more flowers to draw more butterflies.
I have a humming bird who visits the back deck, but I also have two butterfly bushes, pink gladiolus and a lilac bush. I think the pink is drawing the bird to the flower. It is beauitful to watch while I sip my coffee in the morning. I have created a peaceful place to enjoy nature and, best part, it is all in the shade in the morning and at dusk! And I don't even know which direction my house faces, so that is an added bonus!
