"Thank you Freddy! This is exactly what I bought. Good to know (like all succulents), I won't need to water very often. I bought 4 beautiful bright blue pots from a neighbors yard sale and decided to make them into a cactus…"

A bird and it's worm....
Posted on March 26, 2012 at 7:55am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Birds are amazing creatures. For the last two mornings I've observed both a mockingbird and a set of cardinals. They hunt through the flowers in the butterfly garden searching for the fat monarch caterpillars that love the milkweed plants. Once they find one, they carry it over to the stepping stones, and proceed to smack the little worm onto the hard surface, over and over again until is pulverized into a soft encased pulp which they can swallow down. Amazing!

I was looking through some old photos of my gardening projects. I came across this project my daughter and I worked on together in 2007. Following an article from Better Homes & Gardens, we cast several large leaves from our garden into concrete. I wanted to be able to stick them into the ground around our pond, so bought some 'Martha Stewart' double tonged garden marker stakes - and stuck them into the bottom of the concrete so they would dry in place.

I love this time of year. So many of the flowers are in bloom around my yard. Favorites include the 'Starburst' as well as the many orchids in pots and/or trees around our yard. We had sod laid in a few areas and it's taken root and looks so much nicer. The round paver stones I put in several months ago have worked out great. Enjoy my new photos from Garden Views January 2012!
Loving this South Florida weather!

Winter in South Florida is as lovely as ever. The cooler weather flowers that I put in a few weeks ago are flourishing! The new sod is growing beautifully and I'm just so pleased! I'm hoping with the two week winter break I'll have time to finish the mulching and adding some additional rock around the pavers. Getting close to taking some new photos to share. A very happy holiday season to all!

Colleen Marinello said… - Hi Sharon,
I hope you have had a good w/end, probably in the garden!
I want to up date you.. I have seen no life from either of the locations I planted the seeds. No idea what happened. I will keep an eye on it. I even looked around to see if they blew away and started somewhere else..no such luck.
Will be in touch.
