Penny, is that a cat sitting in bird's nest and licking his chops? It looks like under the eaves of your shed porch?
Title: Re: Penny's Garden 2011
Post by: Penny on May 25, 2011, 01:05:52 PM
Its actually the mommy Robin, and the eggs have hatched....i checked on Monday and the hadnt then.

She's pretty good though, as long as we dont "look" at her, she stays on the nest and the lawnmower didnt bother her.

Your yard is looking great Penny! I love the window boxes too, and that triangular hanging basket by your door.
We have Robin's nests all over the yard this year. I don't remember this many Robin's in previous years.
If it ever stops raining long enough to plant my veggies it will be a miracle!

Here's an update of the deck, with 2 of the 11 privacy panels built, and we added a flower bed around the bottom of the deck, to add the plants and vines we want for privacy.

We have 9 more panels to build....but it gives you an idea of how it will look when its done.

Tina's right, we bought the cedar 2x4's for the top and bottom of the panels, and then used 2x6's for the strips, which Brad put through the table saw, and built them that way.
Takes alot of time to rip them through the table saw, but the end result is worth it.

Thanks everyone.

Post by: Tina on Jul 25, 2011, 02:32:44 PM
Ripping them yourself should be giving you some lovely sawdust/sheds. We used a bunch of that as a playground ground cover under our swing when John was ripping cedar. It lasted a long time and stayed soft, fluffy and bug free.

I look at these things and dream about what I could do around my house. But then I remember the gale force winds I deal with and change my mind. Almost everything gets shredded and comes down before the season is over. The gift wrap decor I put on my front door one year disappeared completely. I've always wondered where that ended up.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....  ...

Tina, I know what you mean sort of.  We're in a wind tunnel I guess because it's not windy at the mail box but around our house the wind blows constantly.  I've tried putting wreaths on the doors but they blow right off.   If I put anything tall in flowers pots they blow over.  A lot of days the bird feeders blow right off their hooks and it's not even windy at the end of the driveway - just around our house.

Snow?  I'm not ready for snow yet.  But I do love that wreath what a cute idea.  I'm going to have to see if I can find anything like that for my back door.  I never thought about putting a wreath there.  I wonder if I could make one to mimic my diamond pane trim and then put birds on it rather than the people.  Hummmmmmm your giving me ideas.  You are such an inspiration.
