Today is cloudy and mild.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

I set out the flats of pots and watered them.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I spread the last of the fresh soil over the middle wedge of the septic garden.  There I planted the last few 'Autumn Beauty' and 'Arikara' sunflowers, along with a lot of saved seed from my zinnias.

I've seen two mourning doves, two catbirds, a male cardinal, and a fox squirrel.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- Of the 6 pots I sowed with 'Hello Yellow' butterfly weed, 3 sprouted, one of which had 2 plants.  Of the 6 pots I sowed with orange butterfly weed, 3 sprouted, all of which had 2 plants.  That's a decent rate.  I planted all of these along the north edge of the septic garden.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I repotted one of the crosne knotroots into a larger pot.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I potted up the last purple-and-white striped 'Wave' petunia, a white petunia, a 'Dusty Miller' artemesia, and two white sweet alyssums.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I filled two more pots with assorted flowers.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I filled three more pots with assorted flowers.

EDIT 5/25/25 -- I trimmed grass around the east edge of the septic garden.

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