Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

First Robin of 2011

Yesterday afternoon I spotted the first robin of the season!  I quickly grabbed the camera just in time to see him take flight so didn't get a picture.  This is a good sign that spring is almost here!

Happy Gardening!

  1. I haven't heard about robins foretelling the coming of Spring. The European robin is normally seen all winter and a cuckoo marks the beginning of Spring :-)

  2. Robins migrate south for the winter here. Their return is a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.

  4. I agree, Robins are the first sign of Spring, I also think they are hardy enough to come too soon as here in Minnesota.
