Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and mild, spitting a few drops of water.

I fed the birds.  I've seen doves, house finches, brown-headed cowbirds, and a male goldfinch today.

I planted 2 White Diversity Sunchokes and 1 Red Diversity Sunchoke in the prairie garden.  

EDIT 5/15/21 -- I put compost and covers on the three sunchokes.  I planted the Illinois wild blackberry, complete with compost and cover.  \o/  All the live plants are now safely in the ground.  I still have a ton of stuff that needs to be mulched, but the time-sensitive part is done.

I saw a male Baltimore oriole in the forest garden!  :D 3q3q3q!!!

EDIT 5/15/21 -- I sowed some grass seed in bare patches.  Then I hauled 3 buckets of mulch to put around the 4 Wild Ginger and 1 Edible White Violet in the forest garden, so that section is done.

EDIT 5/15/21 -- I hauled a bucket of mulch to put around the blackberry plant.

EDIT 5/15/21 -- I hauled 3 buckets of mulch to put around the wild leeks in the prairie garden.

I've also seen a gray catbird eating the orange on the iron feeder in the forest garden.

EDIT 5/15/21 -- I hauled 2 buckets of mulch to put around the 5 red sunchokes in the prairie garden.

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