Mom couldn't believe my new friend was practically at the front door. We used to never see squirrels in our front yard, but this year we seem to have a abundance of them. There is even a squirrel that shares the backyard with Fenris & Tuiren.
Mom was thrilled she finally found some native Milkweed. This is White Swamp Weed, we hopes to add more native varieties of milkweed to our garden next year.
When Mommy first gets the plants she usually dumps them on the front porch until she has time to plant them. Some go in pots and some go in the ground.
The Milkweed got carted down to the Hummingbird Cottage.
We are loving seeing our Trumpet Vine blooming. Mommy said the poster that said it was invasive is 100% correct but it is a native plant here. Still she has to keep removing the babies from the flower bed are it would take over the entire bed. It is also blooming earlier in the year than it should, we don't know why. The Candy Corn Cuphea and our Pineapple Sage are also blooming earlier than normal.
I like relaxing in the Hummingbird Cottage. This is my favorite hangout.
I thinks Mom did a good job planting the White Swamp Weed. The white blooms look nice next to the purple Mexican Sage. ~Socks, reporting for ATCAD

Somebody asked if Scylla is the main garden helper, the fact is we all lend a paw. While Scylla lays in the flower beds and talks to the plants, they really likes that. I roam the yard looking for problems. I tell Mommy about fire ant beds so hopefully...
