Our hummingbird garden is finally complete! Well, sort of. The seeds just need to grow. But the flower bed is finished and filled with fresh soil.
I wanted to plant our hummingbird garden under the tree where the little guys like to hang out. So I got to work collecting and digging up rocks all throughout our yard. Once they were all gathered I stacked them in a rectangular shape under the tree.
Once my bed was made I started the task of pulling up the weeds. This is when I found out that there was maybe 1/2 inch of dirt before hitting a HUGE piece of rock. A piece of rock that stretched throughout the whole bed and then some. Uhhhhh! I read the seed packages and it said that the flowers needed 3" of soil. So I made sure the rocks were stacked high enough to dump enough dirt in there in order for the plants to take root.

We also finished our small herb/vegetable/fruit garden. We already have two strawberries! We had three, but Jacob couldn't help himself.

New sapling trees waiting to be planted in our yard.
And here are a few recent pictures of the chicks:
