Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny, breezy, and warm.  It drizzled a bit last night, but mostly we got lots of thunder and lightning with little output.

I haven't fed the birds yet, or even seen any.

I planted a 'Red Charm' peony under the fly-through feeder, covered and labeled it, then heaped mulch around the jug.

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I fed the birds.  I've seen a sparrow.

 

I put out water for the birds.

 

I watered the new peony and a few other plants.

 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I started digging a hole for the double mock orange. 

 

I've seen a female house finch. 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I planted the double mock orange, labeled it, and mulched it. The thing is actually too big for a jug, so it'll have to fend for itself against rabbits.

 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I planted two Virginia bluebells in the forest garden and mulched them.

 

Some of the bleeding hearts that I planted earlier are starting to sprout.  :D

 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I planted the purple prairie trillium in the forest garden.  This concludes the planting of the order from Spring Hill.  I am so pleased that I finished the whole box in one day!  \o/

 

I've seen a male house finch and a fox squirrel.

 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I watered the newly planted things.

 

EDIT 4/17/24 -- I cut brush along the north edge of the ritual meadow.

 

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

Another successful day for you!

I'm happy to hear that about your bleeding hearts! I tried growing them but they didn't come back after I out bananas peels near them. Someone told me they were good for outdoor plants, but this time it didn't work!

I've tried before, with mixed results. We'll see if these grow well enough to bloom.
