May Garden ~ Birdhouses & Flowers

In looking around the garden, I see a theme has developed. It's all about the birds and flowers. With approximately one hundred birdhouses, I suppose my collection is now nearing ...»
intervention status! Some are decorative and some are functional with clean-outs, but long ago I found out the birds are the ones who decide which is which. A bossy little house wren has commandeered the gazebo garden where she and her hubby have taken up residence in a blue bird house, chasing any other birds who dare to come near.

Every new flower is an awaiting surprise and , as I stroll our garden, bird song greets me. A red fox streaked across the front lawn this early morning, probably from the cat food on our porch. We've had lovely rains and everything is an intense shade of spring green.

Gardening: Planting corn?

I'm looking for advice about growing corn. I'd like to plant some in my backyard, but I have a lot of questions. Does corn need a lot of sun? What type of soil is good for growing corn? Does it require a lot of water? Also, when is the best time to plant? Spring or fall?

    I planted corn last year using the Square Foot method. Planted half a 4x4 plot and two weeks ...»
    later planted the other half. The corn grew great. The ears were a good size and all was well....until I went away for the weekend. When I got back from my trip the squirrels had decimated my corn. All the ears were gone and most of the stalks were broken. Moral of the story....If you have a small plot and squirrels, make sure you to screen out the rodents.
