@UrsulaV – a hummingbird nest would be lovely! You’ll have to keep us updated. Maybe I need a guest post from you.

@Katie – I wish it were as simple as just letting weeds grow. Most of the weeds, unfortunately, tend to be annuals and many of those are not native. Keep reading here though and you’ll soon want to add a few native plants. I’m going to be sharing how to do that with simple, manageable projects.

Ahhh, Alison, thank you for the lovely walk through your nature garden. It sounds heavenly. If not gardening and letting weeds and flowers grow wild is nature gardening, then I’m doing great and the cardinals love it. We have a pair that flit about our garden come spring.

The birds have been completely uninterested in my bird houses, but the woodpecker snags on the property have hosted chickadees, red-bellied woodpeckers, titmice and bluejays, and I’m starting to wonder if the female hummingbird who’s taken up residence in the garden and defended it so vigorously against all comers has a nest somewhere.

My buttonbush hasn’t seen fit to bloom this year, but I’m very enamored of my rose mallow, which is putting out huge saucer-sized red flowers. (The fact that I live in a climate where I can stick a type of hibiscus in the ground and it GROWS still completely blows my mind…)
