Corner bed, the Widest Version


Corner bed, the Widest Version

Now 3 years old, the new bed is growing right in. The bergenia was divided this year, so not much to see, but the peony beside it is much larger, the little mugo pine in the background started a little thing for $4. The new bed in front let me introduce the dianthus blue. Above, the corner box and the crown of the steps, growing well.

Thank you so much. I'm pleased how this has come along. I am just now realizing I had left no info on the pic at all! quickly remedied....lol.

I had big plans for a new bed matching this one on the other side, but winter may come before I have it dug in. I have a little bergenia needs to go somewhere motivating me.

Well, that came up weird.... didn't it?

I'm used to my own typos but never have been so far...
sorry about that
I meant:
"your house and garden are lovely GT .. I'd love to live in such a nice place"

I suppose you understood it despite my typos.

22 Sep, 2011

 

I got it. My own typos have just gotten worse changing to a laptop with a little keyboard. I'm quite successful at deciphering hidden messages these days......lol

Thank you. :-)

No wolves, stray fox now and then. Bears are the most problems though rare, usually just in spring and fall. Then of course, a moose can be trouble any time of year. I do long for these summer days, but winter has been mild and beautiful so far, so I don't mind it either.

In California bears can be a huge problem, especially in those rural areas...and they do come into the urban areas sometimes.

Do you have many mountain lions there? They're very plentiful in all areas of California...just a few weeks ago an elementary school was locked down in northern San Diego County because of mountain lion sightings (it's not unusual).

Smaller black and brown bears are more of a problem. Our Grizzlies this far north are more private, though found every year or two poking around a garage or something. Farther south on the coast the black bears are always in town, at the transfer stations (trash). The mountain lion doesn't range this far north. Our only big cat is lynx.

Yes, the brown and black bears are the most common. I've read the California Grizzly Bears are not so common anymore. I think they stay more up into the higher mountains, likely, because they're such mean bears.
The California Grizzly bear is the bear which is on California's state flag.

I've just read the mountain lion's most northerly range is just south of Alaska in western Canada. Bobcats (Lynx rufus) can be major problems in the rural area. These cats have taken over fore-closed houses where my father lives in Riverside County (north of San Diego County). They lay all over the roofs of the houses. It's pretty funny looking.

Wow! I knew there was a population issue with mountain lions, but taking over empty houses seems like a problem. :-)

GT:

The mountain lions don't take over empty houses. lol
It's the bob cats, they have taken over many empty houses. They also drink out of the swimming pools.

The mountain lion populations have really exploded in CA over the last 30 years. In the late 60's and early 70's they were almost hunted to extinction in California. They were killed by the hundreds by cattle, sheep ranchers.
