Late vegetables, herbs and Cleomes

 Cleomes are a must for the vegetable garden. The vegetables just don't move enough, so if you stick in a few Cleomes, they will wave with the breezes and make the whole thing more dynamic.!

Bird places

  This is one of the places that may attract or just remind one of the birds that visit my garden. I have several stands of choke cherry that have designs on taking over the whole yard. That and hackberry, current, Gambels oak and Serviceberry all do their part to attract birds. The yard bird list stands at 33 species, although a few of them appeared one time and never had the least bit of interest in returning  (ie: The Evening grosbeaks and the Hermit Thrush.)
