Remember my garden buddy Frank?
Even though rabbits cause me a lot of grief, It's easier for me to work with them than against them.
So I do stupid stuff like prepare them daily salads so they leave my ranunculas alone.
But it seems to mostly work.
Anyway, we tend to think wildlife can survive these incredibly cold temperatures. They were made for these temps, right?
Wrong. It becomes a game of survival of the fittest.
Temps like those we've been experiencing are stressful and deadly for wildlife.
You can help the wildlife by tossing any grapes, blueberries, or lettuce that you aren't going to use into the cleared paths near your house or by low shrubs where rabbits hide. You can slice mandarin oranges in half for squirrels. Small plastic dishes of water are important, too, but so difficult to maintain due to freezing.
The wildlife will thank you later when you watch them in your backyard.
I've had a few people message me--yes! There's still flower subscriptions available!!
Choose three weeks of tulips, or a full season subscription!
It's a wonderful gift for the person who has everything, and they'll think of you over and over!

Dahlias, dahlias, dahlias!
It's Sunday, 9/22, and the roadside cart is open until dark (rain or shine--open the doors to shop).
I'm making dahlia bouquets today, and they are so beautiful! Each dahlia is unique and wanting to be admired!
Dahlias don't last as long as my other flowers, so enjoy them. When a bloom is spent, just remove the stem. Remember to change the water every two days, and recut the stems at an angle to help them last even longer.
I have floral pumpkins, too!
