Small spaces

Just out the back door, I have a small garden plot, between the house and the brick patio.  It is only about two feet deep, but I love this little space.  I have hyacinths in the spring, followed by astilbe.  This beautiful amaryllis is now blooming.  Yarrow will follow.  To the left of the amaryllis is fennel.  Although it is not a favorite herb of mine, I like growing it, so that the caterpillars of the black swallowtail butterfly will come to the garden.

Monday night I spotted a grey fox in the back yard.  I think an infrared wildlife camera is the perfect thing for the yard.
