The main purpose of gardening for me is solely to help out the wildlife. Sure I get creative and make it beautiful, but the core of every plant I plant is for the bugs and everything else.
Today I was delighted to see some birds hoping around the ground eating some bugs that have found their way to my garden in the making. I've been throwing strawberries outside and they seem to relish them.
The soil in my area isnt so great for I spent a good time loosening up the soil so it will drain better and it seems to have been working for my Lavendula that doesn't like its feet wet. As for the pentas near by well, it may have been too late for them.
In spring I think i'll dig the entire area up and raise the soil adding lots of compost and rich soil. Then replant everything and hope for the best.
I have run out of funding for my plants because I don't yet have a job so i'm glad I thought ahead and bought seeds that im sowing at the moment. Two weeks from now i'll plant my Sunflowers that I plant on lining the back yard with so I dont have to stare at my odd neighbors. These things get 12-15 feet! Do you agree that's insane??? I cant wait to see the bees that it brings in then the birds that will come to eat the seeds!
Tell me what you have been up to! Do you have these sunflowers? Any garden adventures you want to share?
