Good Morning Fam! Great to see everyone today! Slow & steady wins the race. I think your garden is beautiful! Doesn’t have to be perfect. Enjoy your weekend! 👋👋
Thanks for sharing Trent. Those hollyhocks are inviting you to paint more. Your garden is lovely. The path to your front door is George our. Good luck with your concreting. God bless you all. Ros 🇦🇺🙋🏼♀️😷
Winding paths lined with glorious colorful fragrant things..hiding places for fairys...gardens full of delicious things to taste....sunflowers standing tall..whispering sunny secrets......mountains in the distance..ill bet saying look at that homestead yonder...magical this place is...thats whaat i see and more.its like everything that surrounds you wants to embrace you as you embrace your surroundings.
Your tours always make me stop and smile. Love the hollyhocks. Can't wait for some more of your art showings; amazing! And Ms. Lizzy is growing to be a lovely young lady.
We don't mow our grass either, I love weeds! We too have patios and stone to keep the weeds off the house and we have lots of trees that shade out the tall stuff right around the house but the rest is wild. We bought another place in the mountains, hubby went and sent pictures of a bunch of places, the one with beautiful weeds was the one I chose LOL!
I love that you have milkweed in your garden . i bet the butterflys are too. We used to make christmas ornaments, with village scenes in them, out of the pods in the winter.
In your area you have several varieties of hummingbird species. You can get Rufous-sided Hummingbird, Broad-tailed Hummingbird and Calliope Hummingbird. If you ever put a hummingbird feeder up I am ur you’ll have a lot visiting the feeder but all those hollyhocks sure attracts them. Another flower ( perennial) is Monarda or also called Bee Balm which is a lovely plant that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Another plant is purple cone flower that is magnet for all above. Anyway love your yard!
Can you tell me what variety of sunflower you have planted. The multi branch one…? I had a volunteer one this year snd love it. Want to plant some next year but can’t figure out what variety it is..,,! Thanks
We planted "Black Oil", "Grey Stripe", and "Teddybear" over the past several years, but everything we have this year is a mix of all those plus probably some DNA from the wild roadside ones. The seeds we have are closer to "black oil" than anything else.
To be perfectly honest, he hasn't yet uploaded his songs to his channel yet (and he asked me not to share it yet). He's suffering from a little bit of anxiety about it. Maybe we can all encourage him. :)
The garden and flowers are so beautiful.
Thank you. :) The hard work pays off, and it's super fun to share the results!!
The flowers along the path are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you. :)

Glad you like them! (and yes, we're very proud of who Lizzy --and all our kids-- have become). :)
Love de ducklings 🐥!!! The garden also looks beautiful. I hope you are harvesting in abundance
We've done better with some things this year, and worse with others...still learning. :)
The music is wonderful! It reminds me of Andreas Vollenwidner i think is his name. Love it!
I'll have to try to find his music. Thanks!
Your flowers are Beautiful!
They are! Thank you!
The flowers are beautiful
Thanks! Yeah, it's been a good year for them.
Hello to you and your family from South Carolina!
Hello there!
A lovely way to wake up to a calm and happy look at your world. Whose garden is perfect? I don’t know anyone.
If it were perfect then there'd be no joy in the process, right? :)

Your place sounds awesome! Wish I could see it!

Great idea! How fun!

Thanks for the suggestions and information! It's fun to find out what other things will attract them. :)
Did I just hear Banjo say " I wanna bE A Duck? lol
Haha! :) Yep!
:)❤
Hi! :)
Oh I forgot Black-chinned Hummingbird which is common out west. Anyway I am envious
My hollyhocks are covered in rust this year.
Sad :(

@@ArtandHomesteading thank you so much. Blessings
our water pump malfunctioned and we are very thankful for our pool water!!!
Oh no! Sorry. Yes, we feel a little more prepared now with that extra water.
weren't you gonna link Alex's music and stuff?
Still waiting for him to officially kick off his channel. Hopefully soon. :)
I found they don't use smartphones
What's the name of Alex's youtube channel?
To be perfectly honest, he hasn't yet uploaded his songs to his channel yet (and he asked me not to share it yet). He's suffering from a little bit of anxiety about it. Maybe we can all encourage him. :)
