I just completed my Master Naturalist program and learned so much about our native plants, weeds being some of our most important plants to support our pollinators. I am working on a new planting for spring, an entire area of Joe Pye Weed, goldenrod, and so much more. this past summer I enjoyed raising Monarchs, what a miracle to experience!

I love them the height you have yours...we spy them all over our end of Nashville and Franklin. The history shows by the lichen and moss and ivy...<br />Your calico looks just like our dear Barn Kitty (yes, we're not real creative with names, as the other was called Gray Cat...yes, she was gray:) that we left back at the old house with the new owners who needed them as mousers. They were always outside cats and would have been completely lost out here. I sure miss Barn Kitty, for we had her since before we were married.<br />All your gardens will be gorgeous, once again, dear, as spring makes all things new and fresh.<br />See you soon,<br />ChristieChristie Jones Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673858402457921172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-39471652402647851842012-03-27T11:39:09.431-07:002012-03-27T11:39:09.431-07:00WOW, i'm so impressed with your walls, they at...WOW, i'm so impressed with your walls, they ate BEAUTIFUL.

They give such wonder character to your yard and garden. You have so many beauties coming up. I was out looking at all of my irises coming up too and can hardly wait to see them in bloom.

They have a few requirements, tall trees in which to roost, a barn or some sort of protection from bad weather, and lots and lots of room to roam. They do fly and it takes them a while to figure out where home is. Ours used to end up in the neighbors trees by accident. I get hysterical when I find my birds have flown over the fence and are "playing" near the road. I hope I never come home to peacock feathers spread all across the pavement!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-78278723213118513482012-03-26T11:04:19.054-07:002012-03-26T11:04:19.054-07:00I love the rock walls!!
