Weeding and the fight against Dollar Weed (Hydrocotyle spp.)

 Living in a subtropical region has advantages but also lots of disadvantages in having more invasive weeds growing FAST!

So weeding them out is a constant battle...

Any little piece of rhizomes and/or tubers overlooked, will start new growth fast!Yes, we got lots of DOLLARS but they certainly are the wrong green color... 😉What a fight for getting a nice clean patch for planting our strawberries!This very short 1:42 min. video is best watched on YouTube and you find clickable points below with English text.

Pieter Building Wood Trail with Rabbit and Chipmunk Nearby

 Early March of 1996 Pieter is preparing our wood garden for the arrival of Mom & Dad the next week.

So they would not trip or stumble over an uneven trail.

Pieter build a kind of a bat bridge.

This video has the usual clickable points built in with English text.So best viewed on YouTube and then scroll for reading below.At clickable 1:00 I show our Apricot blossoms, followed by the bridge over the creek.Now Pieter can ride his wheelbarrow a lot better and he's grading the soil before adding the newly built wood trail segment.At 3:39 I'm talking to our 'tame' wild rabbit whom I named Snuffy and also a chipmunk that I named Munky.They both made me very happy, as Mom loved wildlife, and now she would meet them within a week!

Tiny Eggs Maybe from Chickadee

 Our Garden has plenty of birds and thus also birds nests.

One can come upon little surprises...

There is a US penny next to those tiny eggs for comparison.

Here Pieter held his index finger next to the eggs...

Always a joy to see lots of birds in our garden and we continue to feed them throughout winter.
