My little garden out front is struggling. The squirrels have created a freeway down the center and now the baby rabbits are eating blossoms of the Impatiens. Such is gardens amongst the critters.
I need to replace some of the solar lights the squirrels uses them as jumping off spots...I glued a few they even managed to knock them off... go figure.

Oh well I enjoy the bright spot in my yard anyway.

Your little garden is so pretty. I know what you are going through with the critters. Last year they totally killed off (ate the tuber) 3 of my Hasta plants. Oh why are they so cute?
What a cute little garden! I love all of the cheerful colors. The SE side of my porch is full of tall blooming sunflowers of a mixed variety. I had a few different kinds that seemed to cross pollinate and I reuse the seeds. Below them are the 4 o'clocks and the zinnias. No rabbits up close to the house, Charlie chases them away!
My barney memorial garden has a light in it. The grass was all burned away because of Barney so it works well as a garden now. Your flowers do look great. The impatiens were beautiful. Critters come first for me too. I use to hang them in memory of my mom but I couldn’t keep up with the watering of them. A second wind storm and rain flattened all my glads last night.
Oh I love your little colorful garden. Looking out at that would bring a smile to my face everyday, except of course when I spot something dining on the beautiful flowers! Talked to my daughter Heidi today....last year she had a zillion tomatoes...this year only about 5. Last year they had a zillion chipmunks....this year a zillion rabbits...or maybe more! Sorry about the squirrels knocking off your lights too. Stinkers!
That's a nice spot of colour; too bad about the squirrels. I really do not like them. I have some kind of nut trees growing all over the flowerbeds thanks to those darn squirrels and their habit of burying nuts in any soft dirt.
I wonder if all the construction chased them over to your nice, quiet haven this summer. Oh, well, your close-up photo makes your garden look lovely, anyhow.

Good Morning, It is a cheerful and colorful garden. Squirrels and bunnies are terrible! The heat is destroying most of our plants.
ReplyDeleteA happy little garden.

ReplyDeleteOh, no! I love it! Our cats are too vigilant for them to be close! Although, Hooper brought a rabbit home the other day. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteA pretty little garden, and I know what you mean about the critters. Have a lovely day. I hope it is not as hot there as it is here.
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty good to me. The bright color is very attractive, and there seems to be quite a bit left. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a very pretty little garden. I don't see the damage, but then, I'm a terrible gardener.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Still looks great! :)

ReplyDeleteSquirrels and bunnies are cute. I have snails destroying my flowers.
ReplyDeleteI would have never known if you hadn't mentioned it. It looks lovely from here!
ReplyDeleteIt looks terrific, with all the color. Nice of you to share with the squirrels and bunnies. :)
ReplyDeleteBunny salad bar! How funny! It still looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteCritters aren't much help.
ReplyDeleteOur nuisance is moles. Critters do appreciate our work in creating welcoming gardens for them. :-)
