Beautiful blooms off so they don't seed the whole thing. It's the best warm spot in the yard so they lived through the winter and went wild this spring. Throwing the flowers in the garden in the herb section.

As of yet. I have finches at a feeder and a grey dove who eats off the ground.

I had a hawk presence, while I had the gopher, last year. They were awesome. I get an occasional fly by, now.

No Berry Birds. Only Bernie Birds.
