Welcome to the Sunday Salon! Also submitted to It's Monday; What Are You Reading? at Book Journey, and Mailbox Monday hosted by Abi at 4 the LOVE of BOOKS.I have decided not to plant many veggies this year and so far only a few banana pepper seedlings made it into the ground and into a pot. There are baby bunnies running in and out of the backyard from our neighbors' where they live under a tool shed. A white possum came into the yard for an orange I had left for the birds and was seen again the next morning in the neighbor's yard. A black cat wanders the grounds and gazes into ground cover that hides chipmunks and into the dense euonymus shrub that is the hiding place for a rabbit or two. I don't think veggies would last without wire mesh to protect them, even with a cat on patrol. In any case, we spent the nice, cool and sunny day yesterday pruning bushes and clipping and seeding grass. An uncluttered garden.

We have little rabbits as well who love to eat what I plant, so it seems like a constant battle with nature. The wire mesh protecting the veggies is a must.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday and happy reading!
I let the Air Jordan anonymous comment stay since I've never seen Air Jordan high heels!
ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I had a garden! I do love them, though.
ReplyDeleteBut there are problems that come with them, as you pointed out.
Here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST
Good luck with the garden. Our vegetable garden often turns into a buffet for the local wildlife. I really need to put up wire mesh.
ReplyDeleteAll your bookish acquisitions look good. In particular Children of the Jacaranda Tree looks like a very worth while read.
We have critters everywhere this year. Yesterday, the gophers were wild and walking around everywhere, destroying the yard. The bunnies are all over the place. The ground squirrels are nuts with their fighting and there is something living in the hedge by my car.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by Mailbox Monday meme
ReplyDeleteWeather prevents us from planting anything for at least another 4 weeks. Lately I've noticed a lot more rabbits in the neighborhood. I think they're staking out the area ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think Ten Trees and a Truffle Dog looks wonderful!

Nice week in books and all new titles for me.
ReplyDeleteI usually have my veggie garden in by May 15th but I have barely started this year. The weather has been too unpredictable. I have bunnies every year. Without a fence they will devourer everything!
