Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and mild.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few house finches.

I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants. 

I picked 3 yellow pear tomatoes.  One of the nasturtiums is blooming -- I haven't had much luck with them this year, though last year's did fine.

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I gathered seeds.

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I gathered more seeds.

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I gathered blackberry lily seeds and planted them around the maple tree in the yard by the house. 

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I watered the septic garden and patio plants.

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I watered the telephone pole garden, wildflower garden, and notch in the prairie garden.

EDIT 9/18/23 -- I watered the oak seedlings, tulip bed and its grass patch.

Cicadas and crickets are singing.,

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

How are the yellow pears for you?

The garden has them this year - the cherry variety - although the texture and flavour were... uh, a bit grainy and mushy. They might have been overripe.

I don't eat them, but my partner seems pleased.

Overripe is one possibility, but another is that they got a lot of water during the bulking up phase. Here, my Super 100 cherry tomatoes split every time it rained (which wasn't often). >_< The yellow pears and chocolate cherries did not, and seemed to stay firm.
