Birdfeeding
Apr. 25th, 2026 02:30 pmToday is sunny and mild. It rained on and off yesterday.
We went out early to catch the native plant sale at Douglas-Hart Nature Center. Then we had more errands to run.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
I set out some flats of pots and watered them.
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I planted four Burpless Cucumbers in pots, two on the old picnic table garden and two on the new picnic table garden.
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I planted four chocolate cherry tomatoes in pots, two on the old picnic table garden and two on the new picnic table garden.
I planted a garden sage and a variegated sage in a trough pot, and a cilantro in another trough pot, at the new picnic table garden. I still need to do more with the troughs because their soil level is low.
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I topped up the trough pots, sowed 'Slow Bolting' cilantro around the potted cilantro, and watered the recently planted things.
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I planted the catnip. This completes the flat of small square pots. \o/
EDIT 4/25/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
I've seen a male cardinal and a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.
