LuvMyFluffy,

It looks very nice and I have lots of those yellow day lillies in my yard and it is one plant that the rabbits do not eat.

What an inspiration! We're only in our third year in our new house which was nicely landscaped when we moved in. The first year I wanted to wait through the whole growing season to exactly what was planted. There was also fencing for the dogs.

Now we've finally figured out what do about the path out the backdoor to cut down on rare black footed corgis whenever there is a lot of rain, type of finished fencing we want and plantings to go where. We do have a lot of materials we can move, which is nice, but then there are other things I want to plant where the dogs have access - like mints, potted tansy maybe (don't want it to escape where the cattle might have access, it is toxic to them) to hopefully help with some insect control.

Gardens are like dogs - always something to learn and something to do.

Was I wrong in thinking Corgis are/were used to control vermine in the farm yards and barns? Duchess seems born to dig but her first instinct is to shove her nose into a hole. Her nose is used as a pile driver, I mean she bangs it into the earth so hard you can feel the earth move under your feet.

That is very funny Jane,

are you sure she is not an Anteater?

CorgiMum - The coloured birds are Rainbow Lorikeets. We have about fifty or so arrive about 4pm every day because my neighbour hangs large dishes of sweet food on the clothes line for them. They are usually accompanied by a few galahs and cockatoos pretending to be part of the flock. They are exceedingly noisy, but a delight to watch their aerobatics. When there are thirty or more in my China Doll Tree it looks like a decorated Christmas Tree, but so far I haven't been clever enough to get this on film.

The big bird is a White Ibis. They and the Blue Cranes often stroll around the yard until Abby spots them and rushes out to tell them off. The Ibis were becoming a big problem down in Brisbane City Centre so the Council employed a Wedge Tailed Eagle 'Soren' and his Handler to scare them away from the area. Soren will not harm them in any way, but his presence is enough to make the Ibis seek other pastures.

Abby does not do any digging but she does love to play Ball in the garden beds, also race along the fence line talking to passing dogs.

This is a photo taken when Abby's night time private toilet pen was being constructed. She has access through a doggy door from house and a two paling gap in the railing of the patio. Even though the back yard is dog proof we border on parkland and I did not want her wandering the fences at night. Also it is great to be able to leave her in part of the house when I go out for any length of time and know she has access to a safe toilet area.

What a beautiful yard. My corgi pup helps in the garden too -- by digging. And it's not that he's digging for something he burried, he's just digging. I'd love to know at what age they stop that behavior.

[corgimom]

Shelly, I think some Corgis like to dig more than others.

Cody is not a big digger. Once in a while he will dig in a spot on the lawn and I have no idea what he is looking for or smells - probably rabbit poop.

All the pictures are great...

Barbara when we went to Canada thru Buffalo NY it was like the Wizard of Oz movie - Buffalo all brown and dirty and when we crossed over into Canada everything was green and flowers. Everywhere we drove beautiful gardens! It must be a country wide passion.

I should post my pathetic patch of weeds to give everyone a good laugh but it would just be tooooo dangerous - people falling off their computer chairs, drinks being turned over onto keyboards as knees were being slapped, side muscles being pulled.... no I can't be responsible for that kind of carnage...
