Love Dr. Brown! And the garden is great, too. He fixed my elbow and it's like new.

Re: Just a little bit of color

I used to buy the cheapest (cheepest!) bird seed I could get and I got a reasonable amount of birds, so I thought I was OK. This year I bought some Northeast blend that was a little more expensive but apparently has much yummier stuff in it. I've been getting lots of WONDERFUL birds, colorful and fun to watch. So my suggestion is to be a bit more selective about what you feed. Apparently, it really does matter! (P.S. flying squirrels like it, too.)

It's really gorgeous. Love the sedum and the pumpkins along the pathway.

Re: READER PHOTO! A walkway in Japan

This is beautiful. Between this and the Innisfree photo, I would really like to just install these paths all over my lawn and stop mowing it. Forever.

Re: READER PHOTO! A hunter's unique camouflage

Thanks, Michelle. I do have a question for my fellow gardeners out there. This very tree is split right in the center crotch, because it got buried under too much snow and (sad to say) Rocky kept walking on top of it. I fixed the split with duct tape and the tree seems to be OK for now, but I wonder how long that will be OK before I have to take the tape off to avoid damaging the bark ... anybody have similar experiences with this? Is there a better product to hold the split together until it heals? Or am I just putting off the inevitable and the tree will die?
