We have an old garden cart that was in my husband’s family for years. Pretty soon I will be planting impatiens in it. It is maybe 2’ high. It is the perfect “gourmet dining table” height for the deer. Last year I put some Irish Spring slivers all around it, and it kept the deer away for most of the summer, until the very end, maybe the end of September. It’s a pretty scene when the plants get bigger and bushy.

Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles started showing up at the feeders. I love seeing them! The Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Gray Catbird have arrived, too! I think we’ve turned a corner on the weather. Time to get planting!

So happy to hear that! I’m looking forward to seeing my Spring Birds! Another week or so and they should be up here by me, too. :)
