Almost a year ago, but just a few posts back, I posted a bit about my backyard garden which Alice and Sammy helped me assess. It has been kind of sad to reflect that my dear little Alice is not here to help garden anymore, but Sammy is still an avid gardener. Here are some photos we took of the backyard in April when the peonies & mermaid rose were in full bloom:

Over Spring Break, BB and I planted some various types of sunflower seeds plus some herbs and ganzia. The sunflower seedlings have done well, & so have the basil and catnip, but I only got one ganzia to sprout from 12 seeds!
We had a big bird feeding operation going this winter; Sam spent hours bird watching! You can see the two big windows where he would sit and watch, mesmerized. We recently took down the other winter feeders to wash and put away and will soon get out our hummingbird and butterfly feeders. I left the feeder up under the overhang; these silly morning doves still try to squeeze into it.
In our next garden post, Sammy will demonstrate how NOT to step on seedlings!

Your flowers are gorgeous. I leave my bird feeders up so I can watch the Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Buntings. I also have Cardinals and cow birds; don't forget those squirrels.
Your garden looks beautiful and fabulous with your lovely flowers, they blooms beautiful. happy Spring :D

Hi, you visited me so I'm returning the visit. Sammy does seem to be a good gardiner! I find it very difficult with seedlings. Somehow they get very long and spindly and then droop over and die when I plant them out! Here in Wales the weather is really cold and very wet...lots of floods around the place...it's all quite unseasonable. Think I'll join your followers so I can watch what Sammy does next! Joan
