I take great pride, along with tasty veggies and beautiful flowers, in my garden. It was not an easy creation. At first there was only a patch of grass in a perfect spot. Laying it out and constructing it was quite a bit of work, and much appreciation goes out to Danny Thornton and my family for all their help. The garden since its initial construction has been very low maintenance. The majority of my exertion comes from gathering the delicious veggies and beautiful flowers. My efforts alone could never have yielded such fantastic results. Much of the credit goes to the pollinators, who in their quest for the sweet nectar spread the pollen necessary to fruiting and flowering. So, bring on the pollinators!

Rich, the need for these creatures are what makes a garden so great. I think a lot of times people are freaked out about them and run the other way.

It seems like yesterday that you were talking about planting the garden and getting the chickens! Wow time flies!

I love the slide show you did a great job!

Danny - They can be quite frightening, especially the buzzing. Luckily I have not been stung by any! (Fingers crossed)

Joan - Time does fly! I should be planting cooler weather plants like gourds (pumpkins and large squashes), asparagus, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, and broccoli soon. Glad you liked it! I could have added music but I know some people surf the net at work and music might draw unwanted attention.
