The Iris are bloomin'
I love the colours in these. And soon, the Magenta Peone, in the abckground will pop open too!
Above The Nasturtium above? not quite yet.
Below The butterfly bushes and Hydrangea are getting ready too! Also, the birds are loving their feeders, with American GoldFinches, House Finches, Purple Finches, Pine Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Black Capped Chicadee, Northern Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, Red breasted Robins, Carolina Wren, a Downy and a Hairy Woodpecker, as well as a Northern Flicker. I see an occasional Mockingbird, Catbird, and even a Red-Wigned blackbird yesterday! Not to mention, the House Sparrows, and the Chipping sparrows. (not seen, more suet feeders and seed feeders)
So far, the rabbits are behaving, and the squirrels, too. I suspect we'll loose some fruit and veggies to the critters, but for now, all seems good!

Here's a quick RECAP post about Last Year's Garden.
For those not following the past year or so, Grovid originally came from @dreemsteem.
She challenged us all, during the year's Pandemic news,
to talk less about Codiv19 and More about Grovid20!
To talk sustainability and gardening and growing for the future!
#SaveLiveEventsNow
2020... a wild and woolly year, if ever there was one, and slowly, 2021 too. My entire industry (Special Events) was shut down on 13 March 2020, and hasn't been back yet (That's 14 plus months of no work!) Personally, I am ok, but so many of my colleagues and friends are struggling with bills, paying for food and rent, medical and health insurance. I am hearing from clients, probably no work until about 4th quarter 2021.
