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 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? |

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! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

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? glo "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference." | |
