2023 Gardening: A's Garden Update

 You may remember that earlier this Spring, I tried an experiment by planting a smaller space in front of our house.  I called A's Garden in hopes it would attract birds:


Almost two month in, we have progress!



The fact that the one side has grown much more than the other is surprising to me.  I am not sure if this is due to seed distribution, watering, or sunlight.

And, we even got some flowers!



I am so used to such things not working in my favor that I am genuinely surprised when they do.

    1. No-one is ever more surprised than I when something works, Nylon12.

  2. Many times, I just never do know what I did to make things turn out differently. I just accept and move on hoping that eventually I will get a lesson learned through my thick skull.

    1. Ed, I do not wonder that one thing that made things "work" this time is the fact that these are native wildflowers and so adapted to the climate. I need to find a way to double down on this.

  3. It never hurts to experiment because nature is ceaselessly amazing. It is such a joy to see things grow, and a mystery when they don't. Or when they show up a year or two later!

    1. Leigh, I will be interested to see what happens next year if I just allow these to go to seed.
