On the Island

This is a simple blog about what I am seeing and doing in the garden at any time. We will doing a major clean up this week after the snow fall last week. Many of the broadleaf shrubs have snow damage and have broken branches which need to be cleaned up. Also the evergreen magnolia has some cold weather damage mostly from the wind. Then the tender tropicals in the greenhouse haven't faired so well either since the heater went out. So this will be a busy week.
 Must fill those birdfeeders also. Don't want those little guys going without food. I like to use shelled sunflower seed. It is no mess and no waste. A little more expensive but worth it.
