Hi! I am new to Gardenstew but have been reading about all of you. I live in Illinois and we have all types of weather, hot,cold, stormy etc. Lately it has been hot, mid 80's and low 90's without much rain. I have always had vegetable gardens but since I retired I am working on flowers and scrubs. What a mess! I can't get down to the ground so most of my flowers are in half whiskey barrels. I have three that have perennial petunias in varigated colors from white to deep purple. This year I need to collect seed for new barrels because I need to put new soil in the barrels. We also had two new Japanese maple trees and a purple butterfly bush planted.
I also enjoy birds so I have two finch feeders, three hummingbird feeders and three regular feeders and two bird baths. One is regular size and one is about 18 inches high. I told my husband that was for the little birds but actually I just liked it. I also have two little granddaughters that like the little one. I don't know how people have time to work, I can't keep up anymore and I don't work. Oh, well I guess I could if I needed.
