My daughter's dog Zero (runt black Chug) was hit by a car in the head a few years ago & is going blind (the neurologist warned us at the time that it might happen…that & seizures). He's lost all the sight in one eye & the other is going. Hopefully he'll be able to get around like Jack does.
Morning glories have taken over my plants 😮
Your place and view is amazing and your deck looks great! All I get to see are trees, lol.
We have a lot of American Goldfinch and I just knew they would eat the seeds off my bolted lettuce, but they don't because they are constantly eating the seed off my purple coneflowers. Every year I tell myself that I am goung to cut the coneflowers back when the flowers die, but then I see the goldfinch eating them, so I leave the awful looking flowers there lol. The coneflowers are perennials and they reseed themselves and I have been growing them for several years, so I have tons of them, and the goldfinch are very happy lol.
Thank you for the update on your deck! Gary looks like he would be the perfect person to visit your neighbors yard one night lol. ❤😊😊❤
I'm growing stevia for the first time. How do I use it? Also, my red celery is very skinny but I have 4 plants in 1 pot. Is that the problem? Thanks, I love your videos. I have many fountains on my deck thanks to you
We are in the far western suburbs near Chicago. We have female Ruby throated hummers that visit our feeder. We started out with one. This year we’ve got three. One of them even landed on my husband’s head as he sat on the glider on the front porch. We’ve been having a problem with wasps at our feeder. What are your recommendations? We love our little hummers.
Your daughters channel is pretty interesting as well. But you ROCK
Have you made cucumber water ? With cucumber, mint, and another fruits? And herbs ? Delicious im gonna see in the morning how it tasre. 😊😊😊
Love Jack. ❤❤❤❤
Hes so brave
GREAT TEACHING ROBBIE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S MORE PRECIOUS, THE BIRDS, THE LITTLE DOG, OR YOU ROBBIE. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 LOVE YALL 🙏 ❤
Robbie the deck looks so big and beautiful, i have lots of hummingbirds, i can't believe it, i do have lots of feeders, and flowers, but i remember the first year i had one, and you said that's how it start. I can watch them all day, thank you.
Thanks for showing your chickens! Hope some day you share your wisdom about them too!
Not to worry Robbie…never boring! I enjoy seeing all the wonders of nature that you share with us. Thank you❤
Love the hat! Really like how your redoing your deck. I cant believe all the birds you have! Awesome!
We are still stuck at 105 degrees plus. Still no outdoor watering. 2 guinea babies now?
Here is the hat fountain 11:35
❤
Robbie, really enjoyed the tour and talk. Your deck looks amazing, it's so much bigger with the changes you've made. So, that beautiful yellow male bird and his mate are hooded orioles, we have a pair now visiting us. So fun to watch, ours bathes in the oscillating sprinkler in the grape archway. I'm enjoying watching your deck garden and feeding center taking form. I always pick up an idea or two from you, thanks.
You really inspire me. Thank you for what you do.
You have built your own heaven on earth. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I make those pots. I get mine free at Kroger store.
Have you thought about a live stream of just the hummingbirds. Wow you do have a lot of them. Do any nest near by?
We had to stop feeding birds because of black bears. It’s sad. I have a wild blueberry tree that feeds a variety of birds so at least I have that to watch. Funny to watch the robins do acrobatic moves to reach the outer thin branches.
I always love seeing mommy bird feeding their babies who always look bigger than mom.
Wow your deck looks so spacious and neat. Easier to see the birds.
That little boy is beautiful ❤️
Thanks for sharing:)
First year for turmeric..it grew good but now i don't know when its done or how to harvest or even how to dry it or if its ready to use. HELP😮😅
This is a really great video! Thanks for sharing all your wisdom. It really helps others.
Robbie how do you deal with wasps and bees invading the feeders? Yes I use the kind that is supposed to stop them but it doesn't 😦🫨
How can the orioles even get their beaks in the hummingbird feeders? LOL
You are never boring! 😅
Goldfinches love sunflowers
I would love to have window boxes but i rent and I dont know if my landlord would like it.
Your deck is beautiful!
I love growing lots of lettuce ❤ chicken and carrots look yummy !
oh! Didn't know you guys had chickens. Can you do a video on your hatching and the chicken coop? 🙂 I think you did a great job cleaning up the deck!
Where in So Cal are you? Looks like my area.
I love to see all these visitors~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Hey Robbie, the deck is beautiful already 🥰🥰
That's precious Robbie 🥰🥰
The deck looks like it is fast becoming a bird spa! They must love it there, and I could sit and watch them all day. 💖 🐦 💝
We noticed in our area less nest also. We're seeing a lot of black birds lately
The orioles are so pretty..the yellow is so bright. Great solution for separating the birds!
I love cooking outside…I always use my electric skillet outside. No mess!
Jack is adorable Robbie 🥰Love that clip you put in of him, I love it when dogs smile😁Have a great day!🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
I think the environment are throwing all the birds off. We need to feed the bird and hummingbird for the migration.
Jack is adorable! ❤
I love your deck 😍 it will be a paradise for birds ❤️ and you have a place to work or to relax or just looking the birds 😍
Jack is adorable ❣️ ❣️❣️ he is so tiny and he so enjoys your love for him ❤❤❤thank you my sweet friend for another awesome video 😍😍😍
