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.

  • Portulacas are also known as moss roses, Mexican roses or the sun plant. They love a hot, sunny and dry situation.
  • Portulacas bloom from summer to fall. All they need is sun for their flowers to open. And, they require no fertilizer or good soil. They only need to be watered when they look like they are starting to wilt.
  • Potulacas bloom in rainbow hues of rose, red, yellow, salmon, orange and white.

Portulacas

One of my favorite flowers to grow are portulacas. Last year, I bought a 20 cent pack of seeds and I ended up having four containers full of flowers.

DIY Lamp Birdbath/Feeder

I took an old lamp and a chip-n-dip tray and turned it into a Lamp Birdbath/feeder. I spray painted the chip dip tray and let it dry. I then cut the cord off the lamp and removed the ...»

Fairy Garden

This is my first attempt at a fairy garden. I think it still needs something. I'll have to give it some time to come to me. Can't wait to make more from ideas on other clips.

  • One section of the garden where the clematis, bleeding heart and forget me nots thrive.
  • Bleeding Heart is in it's glory right now.
  • This plant will die down after it blooms if it's in full sun. But since ours is in shade, it will stay green all summer
  • Although this plant is considered invasive, by thinning it after it's finished blooming I can keep the forget-me-nots in control.
  • Tiny forget-me-not flowers add an airy blue to the front of the border in May and June.
  • This unnamed viburnum is putting on quite a show right now.
  • Once the flowers die back, it's followed by little burgundy berries which the birds love in the winter.
  • We have mostly white lilacs in our garden. They are quite fragrant right now
  • This lovely little columbine is just beginning to bloom.

Mid-May in My Garden

The flowering shrubs have been exceptional this year. First it was the magnolia but now the lilacs and viburnum are putting on their show.

Homemade Beeswax Candles

We've already told you of beeswax tealights in shells to remember summer, now let's make beeswax candles. The supplies are beeswax, wicks, double-stick adhesive, essential oils, a wax ...»
pouring pot, thermometer, skewers, jars or metal tins. Cut the wax into small chunks and melt it using a thermometer, the temperature should be between 145° and 175°. Adhere the wicks to the bottom of the tins using double-stick adhesive. Pour the wax into the tins and let the candles cool completely. If you'd like to scent your candles, you'll want to add fragrance once the wax is melted – 1 gram of oil per 1lb of wax. Enjoy your candles!
