Our Early Morning Visitor


Evidently this rabbit wasn't very hungry because she didn't eat much as she wandered down my garden path. If she returns, I hope she sticks to the parsley I planted for the butterflies and leaves my flowers alone.

My New Buckeye Tree


I was worried my new buckeye tree wouldn't make it through the winter because it looked a little weak last fall but it's doing great. We purchased it at Toledo Botanical Garden's plant sale last year.

Two Years Later...

Okay, I'm not the best blogger. It's been two years since my first blog.
I'm starting this growing season with a new attitude; I'm going to plant only Northwest Ohio hardy plants. The reason for this is the watering factor. I'm going to count on Mother Nature and perhaps the long awaited rain barrel to irrigate my flowers. Last year I planted a Buckeye tree which made it through our mild winter. My delphiniums, which I planted last year, actually made it through the winter. I usually have to treat them like annuals. They must have known about my "new attitude". Pictures will follow soon.
