| My sad, sad shrubs. |
It's not focused very well but see the underside of that leaf?
Look at all of them. Five in one shot.
My new topiary. This is so frustrating.
I've read that sparrows will eat them. Now I'm researching bird baths and how to lure sparrows to the yard. I really wish that cardinals ate them because remember the one trying to get in last week? He's still here and still wanting in. He did finally decide to make a nest in the oleander outside the window.
I spotted it yesterday, just as the exterminator pulled up. Oh, when he got here, I asked if his spray would kill bagworms. He checked the shrubs and sprayed them. Now we wait and hope for the best.
In better plant news, my gardenia has a bloom, one lonely bloom.
If you want to smell it you'll need to get on your knees because it's under the bush. Figures. Maybe I should give up on gardening and yard work and keep my day job. Done.
