A Short Walk in Balisha's Yard

I thought that I would put some pictures here of my wildflower seed garden in the woods. I have planted wildflower seeds here for a couple of years. This is the first year that I have had something to show. Wildflower gardening takes patience. Planting the seeds in the fall, waiting all winter, looking in the spring for tiny sprouts, keeping the invasive bullies away, watching them grow and not bloom much, then another year goes by and here you are a few flowers. I am pleased with the outcome. It's nice to look at while resting on the bench.

I like simple statues in the garden. Mine are mostly religious. They have a calming affect for me. I feel the calmness coming over me as I take care of this area.The birds seem to belong here more than anywhere else in my yard.

I love the contrast between the dark and the white daisies and the Saints.

The bird houses were made to attract bluebirds, but the wrens live here. They are so cute and melodious. They provide the natural music for this area.

This is a shot of more of the wildflowers. Now after blooming...I will leave them to go to seed and the cycle starts all over.

More of those pretty daisies. Soon there will be lilies and black eyed susans to take their place.

Here come the lilies....just wait until tomorrow...I will have a blast of color for you to see.

Here we are at the front walk again. It was just a little stroll to show what I've been doing. Seedlings in pots are all outside, the marigolds are going to bloom, the cosmos are coming along, the bunny tails are getting bigger, mini pumpkin vines are starting to grow bigger, the clematis are in buds, lilies everywhere, mums came back, and those wonderful asters...oh boy...just wait!
