My Little Garden Zoo 2026: First Report

 With an oddly cool spring that started with several very hot days, the flowering trees all got a kick start and the air was filled with pollen, then petals, then seed pods!  All of which falls on my planters and requires constant cleaning when decked out as a small figure zoo.  Some years I brave it; this year, not so much.  Tack on to that three weekends in a row with damp weather and highs in 50's and overcast low 60's and it's not been a difficult decision.  Of course, I still like to spend some time on the deck and have moved many tolerant plants outside.  In the process, I have also established a few habitats for this year's iteration of my LGZoo.
