I would like to have a bird, like this one:

I would like to have a bird, like this one:
I didn't fill the nestbox with nesting material, Tania. The birds did.
But I did hang some upspun wool in a nearby bush, for them to use.

I like that bird in your post. What is it called?

This is the kind of bird which uses our nest box. It's called a blue tit.

Yes, she lives in south - east of my country (Delta Danube) and her nest its made from reed:

The people try to help them by building up nest places,like here:

May be if you would have a river near to your garden, then you could build a nest for her

I probably would, but that seems like a lot more work than the birdhouses I have built previously. The picture of the birdhouse that my wife, MuslimahBarb, posted was intended for Purple Martins. Interestingly, we had no Martins to nest, but a few Sparrows have used it instead. Purple Martins are a migratory bird that spend the winter in South America and then return in March or so to nest. Typically, they are a bird that likes to be around people and they eat insects like mosquitos that are a serious nusiance where I live. We had a Martin to fly around and to land on the house, but for whatever reason decided not to nest. God willing, I will put up more houses before next spring as I think they like to nest in groups.

I wanted to start gardening.
I did a little research on what grows best in North Georgia (tomatoes, melons, and some herbs)
Do you when the best time to get started would be?

Nice garden Glo! We have one of those water recycling systems too, its great! And we used to have the worm things also, but dad got rid of those a while ago (thank God!).

All credit to my parents... I don't visit the garden much, too many insects!! We don't get anything cool like hedgehogs, but we get lizards! Usually small ones, but we found a big blue tongue lizard the other day!

Default Bumble bees and berries - 06-05-2008

Today the sun is out, and so are the bees!

Here are two bumble bees.
The first on the blackberry bush, which is now in full flower:




The second on the raspberry bush:



They look quite cuddly, don't they?

This is our first ripe alpine strawberry ... somebody else has already taken a bite!



We have gooseberries and strawberries in great numbers, but it will be another couple of weeks before they are ripe ... time to wait patiently!!

Does your camera have a zoom thing that lets you take a close up pic from like, 5m away, or did you really get that close to the bee?

I like the bees and the pictures show them so cute Have you added something to the soil to have a bigger number of fruits

I cropped the picture a little, but I didn't use a zoom.
I never thought about it, but I was only a few inches away from the bees ... in fact I got closer to the bees than the apline strawberry!

I gather you don't like creepy-crawlies much, Malaikah ... am I right?
