Urban Scarecrow

This little house sitting on the edge of downtown features a huge garden surrounding it and a great scarecrow to keep the pigeons away.  Last summer I featured a picture of a giant sunflower that I took from this very garden.  I’ll have to keep my eye on the place and see what comes up this year.

    I love what some gardeners do with their space. It must be fun to be able to watch this house and what the garden produces.

    I like how they make great use of limited space (curbside) for their gardening!

    If I were in Phoenix my tomatoes would be planted by now. Alas, I'll have to wait another month. But on the other hand, I'll be planting dahlias soon, which is something I didn't have in Phoenix!

    That is a cute place. I like the filling station pendants. Is that a carport?

    These central city urban dwellers must have grown up on a farm.

    That is kind of unexpected. They seem to know how to make things grow.

    I enjoy watching garden spaces. Throughout the year I have special drive bye's to see how my favorite spaces are changing.

    An odd assortment of stuff. Now your photo doesn't look like Phoenix to me - but what do I know!

    I have never seen such a high scarecrow-to-garden ratio before!

    Then again, I hardly ever calculate scarecrow-to-garden ratios.

    Does he do a good job of keeping those pesky pigeons away? I wonder. He's almost too cute.
