Putting More Life into Your Livelihood

Herb table, photo by Philip Houtz

My wife and I have a small patio garden with a pear tree, an herb table, and a wild rose. There’s a sock filled with nyjer seed for the goldfinches and a tube of millet for the house finches, juncos, towhees. Across the way is a large Brazilian pepper tree that sheds tiny leaves which pile up like brown snow drifts in our yard.
