It's finally Spring ... and it's felt like it the last few days. Not super warm, but nice with some sun for a change. Rain is coming again overnight possibly turning into light snow. Sigh ... but that's not unusual up here in the mountains.
I did manage to transplant 2 English lavender bushes today. I had bought them last summer/early fall, but inadvertently had planted them on top of a patch of daffodils. I keep telling myself I should mark where I plant bulbs. I also did some raking today. I always find myself smiling when I uncover the plants I forget were there!
Do any of you know anything about Little Miss Kim Lilac bushes? I planted one, going on 5 years now, in the corner of a garden bed and it has never bloomed! It's healthy looking, leafs out every year, but no flowers! It's in a spot that gets sun all afternoon. I'm tempted to move it somewhere else, but where?
This year I've been having an ongoing battle with squirrels! I feed the birds all Winter into Spring, and the furry little buggers have been driving me crazy! I have 2 hanging feeders (one is a flat, round, OPEN ring-shaped feeder that's open on top ... and the other feeder is a square suet cake in a square wired cage. Without fail, the squirrels steal the whole round cake from the ring feeder every time! I've been trying to think what I could put on top of the round ring feeder to keep them off, but will let the birds eat from it. Someone told me to throw out peanuts for the squirrels and they will probably leave the feeders alone. I will give it a try. If you have any other suggestions, let me know.
Not much else going on. I've posted some pics ... including one of the round open feeder. Got any ideas, I am all ears
