Today I cleared out the front corner of the yard and planted wildflowers. I gathered Wild Violets, Coreopsis lancelota, and Rudbekia. I planted California bluebells, Birds eyes, Dianthus (Sweet William), Icelandic poppies, California Poppies, Painted Daisies, Bleeding Harts, Chicory, and the Blue flag Iris seeds I got from my friend Etta. I weeded along the front wall and sidewalk and cleaned up the entire front yard, tomorrow I will start on the back and side yards.
About Me
- Pittsburgh gardener
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
- I live in the Brighton Heights Neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh PA and recently certified my yard as a wildlife habitat. please feel free to check out my Blog and I hope you enjoy it.When I first bought my property the house was in disrepair and the yard was nothing but dead grass over grown weeds and garbage. It is now a habitat that provides wildlife with the four basic requirements needed to thrive. These are food, clean water, cover from predators, and places to raise young. I have provided these in my small space and will continue to improve on these elements of my garden. I am also an artist and I get a lot of inspiration from my garden. I am fascinated with tiny houses and enjoy cooking and music. I have two adopted cats from a rescue, and I have a one eyed cat that was a stray and needed surgery so I took her in. They are all house cats so they do not tear up my wildlife habitat. They do enjoy sitting in the windows looking at the other animals that visit my yard.
