About Me

My photo
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.

New Day Lilies.

I got a bunch of new day lilies from my friend Etta and planted them in my back yard. when they flower she will let me know what the names are. I have also been pitting tags out to mark my plants so I will remember where they are. I am happy I found Vermont Wildflower Farm on line. They have a huge variety of wildflower seeds and I was able to buy 20 packs of seeds for 20 dollars. I removed the tire planters from around my plants at the sunny side of the house. everything has established itself so its easy enough to weed and keep clean without the planters. I still used the planters to mark where my sunflowers are planted. I cleaned out all the trash and debris left behind by Home Depot and am getting ready to move my pond and add the waterfall and bog area.
