While we wish to repel certain creatures, we hope to attract others. In order to create a more inviting atmosphere for birds, we dug a small flower garden. The area was demarcated for us by a devoted yet not wholly considerate cable guy after he parked on our lawn on one of many wet days, then tore the grass up when trying to leave.
We transplanted found wildflowers from the edge of the road, then bought a few cheap ones, finding late season discounts, many for only 10 cents each. We also picked up a bag of wildflower seeds that seems to last forever, already planted in the graywater bins, and now in this patch. Though I might gripe about the near incessant rain (it's pouring again now, almost all day today), the seeds have sprouted after only a week. Of course, they'll soon drown without some sun.
The lady built the attractive rock border along the edge of the gravel driveway.
