no I used to have flowers on the balcony but it attracted bees and cats and bees don't get along - for some reason...i'm sure the cat doesn't like bee stings


again - birds and cats don't get along - for some reason although the pigeons would disagree...loldo they think the cat is a playmate?

I have planted flowers in the flower beds out front. I'll probably plant some in the containers for the deck later. sounds nice


Hummingbird feeders only.i love watching the hummingbirds


love windchimes too! all different ones for the different soinds.


We have the deck and a park bench under the trees by the shed, but I need to clean and repaint the bench. Mildew does a number on stuff out here.my yard in pa didn't get much so & everything mildewed.


I have in containers, but they don't do too well out here due to the soil and temperatures. Have had vegetable gardens before and love having one.that's too bad.i am glad to be able to grow veges again


yes..the garden ponds are costly
