What Happens When a Seed Germinates
Spring has sprung in Central Florida. As I opened the door to go outside this morning, the humidity hit me in the face. WOW it went from winter to spring really fast. Last week we were experiencing lows in the 40's with no humidity and now we are in high humidity with mid 80's during the day.
All that prompted me to head to Amazon and buy some seeds. Coleus and zinnias to begin with to bring some color into my boring property. We bought tomato and pepper seeds last year, but The Captain got sick and was in the hospital months before he passed away. Now I am left with finding ways to bring some pleasure and joy into my life. The color in the garden will do it for me so I can sit outside again as I used to enjoy nature.
So I have turned my attention to gardening on the internet. What I found today is an excellent article all about seed germination. Growing from seed is one of my favorite garden tasks. It is so satisfying!

I look forward to new posts on my new adventures this spring!

All About Poison Ivy
Someone working in my yard told me I have poison ivy growing in my yard. Just my luck, he would not touch it to clear it out. So I decided to do some research. I don't know if I should trust this guy or not . . . better to be educated on the subject before I go any further.
I found this informative article and thought I would share it with you guys.

DIY Birdseed Bells
One of my greatest joys is to sit outside and enjoy nature.
My favorite thing is to feed the birds and watch them interact with each other. They are especially silly around the bird bath.
These birdseed bells seem to be something I can enjoy watching the birds with. They are also something that would be fairly easy to keep away from the squirrels.
