Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and mild.  It rained yesterday.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of house finches, several mourning doves, and two blue jays.

I put out water for the birds.

I moved the flats of plants outside and watered them.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted the mayapple, common boneset, and 'Blue Moon' woodland phlox in the forest garden.

The linden tree is leafed out all of a sudden.  The new leaves taste like asparagus.  :D

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted 'Shenandoah Red' switchgrass, 'Purple Dome' New England aster, and blunt mountain mint in the wildflower garden.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted 'Silver King' creeping thyme and lemon thyme in the goddess garden.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted the 'Winter Red' winterberry holly in the west hedge of the savanna.

I've been hearing lots of blue jays screaming, so I think there is a flock beyond the two that I've seen together.  I saw a fox squirrel running around the trees over the parking lot.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted the common ironweed in the prairie garden.  That's the last of the potted plants from the American Meadows order.  I still have some bare roots in bags, but those are a little less time-critical.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted a tricolor sedum under the maple tree and a 'Princess Nadia' bugleweed in the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted a red coreopsis in the wildflower garden and 3 perennial pinks (purple, red, and pink) in the prairie garden.  That finished off two more flats, so I only have two flats left to plant. \o/

I brought in the last two flats of plants.

I've seen at least 5 blue jays together.  :D

EDIT 4/26/25 -- I planted dill, flat parsley, curly parsley, and sweet marjoram in a trough pot on the old picnic table.

I am done for the night.
