...E.T..Phone HOE-mmmmm...... and Other Garden Things

________

Just a little giggle worthy phrase I came up with
to make a garden art HOE sign.

A Red Breasted Wood Pecker at the suet feeder
at my AIR B'B For The Birds.

Indian Chrysanthemum Daisy

Blooming from summer through early fall, the Indian chrysanthemum daisy grows up to 24 inches tall, and its foliage can be used to make healing teas.

Woo Hoo...The Garden Is Blooming, The Vegetables Are Veg-gy-ing

Sweet William

These Tiny seeds (like poppy seeds) that I save every year

and replant (they take 2 years to bloom)
never fail to add color anywhere in the garden

So there I was minding my own business
in one of my many flower beds, thinking about what
I was gonna do with a certain exotic Iris that was gorgeous,
when lo and behold I spied a baby fawn nestled
in my flower bed. I ran, got m camera, because
I could not believe what I was experiencing.I named that place IRIS' BED and named the fawn IRIS
(IRA if it was a boy fawn cause I don't really know)
And made a handpainted sign for Iris.

The wrens are RENTING this birdhouse right now.
Mama & Daddy wrens feed the babies constantly

If there is anything or anyone amiss in the garden, the wren willlet you know. They are the chatter-iest birds I know for sounding the
"Danger Will Robinson" alarm
(see Lost in Space, the tv series for ref)

An Exotic Iris

With the Corona Virus Lockdown, The Home Bodies & Social Distancing came extra
time at home---So much so that seed catalog companies were running outta seeds.

IT'S GARDEN TIME SOMEWHERE
has always been my sign for the spring when I put it outside
for all to see.

However, It's been Garden Time Somewhere for me and my
Garden Blog for over 10 years now
so the garden is nothing new for this yardscaper.
complete with homemade garden signs.

KEEP CALM & GARDEN ON, PEOPLE.

Gardening is one form of therapy, and you get tomatoes.
