Garden projects in Spring

 While our kitchen is being renovated, I did some projects in the garden.   My hands and nails are all tore up from using the garden tools but I don’t really care as long as I can work in the garden 😝.

Anyways, I decided to use the discarded trunk of the crab apple that we removed in the front yard to hide the undesirable part of our corner yard, which is my compositing  corner.   I put all the cut grass there and wood chips that We used as bedding for our guinea pigs.  This year, I thought I’d use it as a planter for my chicks and hens succulents so that’s what I did.

A friend of mine has a lot of these succulents so she gave me some few years ago, it multiplied.
I think that the shapes of the wood give this part of our yard a character.


I found some live moss when I took my dogs for a walk in the nearby woods so I added them into the succulents.  The birds are eyeing on it though.
I also put these gangly dried out vines in there.
Birds like it as the can hop around using those twigs.
Our weather this morning is rather chilly.  Here’s May and we’re still have mid-30s at night.   My vegetable seedlings are struggling.   I am dealing with frost, hail, birds, slugs, and the aphids are thick this year!
Hostas are great border plants, I have few different kinds.  The slugs have been eating the leaves of the small ones.  Deers love them too.
Snow in Summer is a really good ground covering perennial .  The former home owner has few of them before and it grew thicker as I transplanted them to a new location.
