I usually see my first hummer by April 15th and immediately put out my feeders! Sometimes they give me the eye, staring at me through my sunroom window

Thanks, Christie. This comes at a good time because I am seeing lots of weeds and not much grow-back from the cold winter.

Comment on Creating a Berm by Aster Kvetnik

What a fantastic approach to creating a berm! I love how you’ve turned flat landscapes into visually interesting spaces that not only enhance privacy but also provide a perfect environment for plants to thrive. It’s like giving your garden a little elevation boost—who doesn’t love a good makeover?Your use of composted topsoil and the artistic placement of boulders sounds like a recipe for success. Plus, I can just imagine how beautiful that millstone fountain must look amidst the perennials and ornamental grasses. It’s like nature’s way of saying, “Look at me, I’m fabulous!”And I totally agree about the importance of having the client involved during the installation. After all, it’s their garden—might as well make it a team effort! Who knew gardening could be such a collaborative art form?Thanks for sharing your creative process; I can’t wait to see how my own garden might benefit from a little berm action!
