Birdfeeding
May. 14th, 2026 12:16 pmToday is mostly sunny and mild.
I fed the birds. In the forest garden, I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a gray catbird, and a brown thrasher. I also saw a ruby-throated hummingbird, poking into the irises under the maple tree of all places. :D 3q3q3q!!! Fortunately the barrel garden with its fire-colored flowers is already established, so there are plenty of suitable flowers available.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 5/14/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 5/14/26 -- I planted the coleus in the grape pot. This one is dark purple, almost black, with hot pink streaks down the middle of the leaves. I'm hoping to get more coleus in mixed colors to stuff in around it. Home Depot should have those.
EDIT 5/14/26 -- I trimmed grass and dug a hole at the north edge of the savanna.
EDIT 5/14/26 -- I planted the American plum at the north edge of the savanna.
EDIT 5/14/26 -- I cut brush around the pawpaw seedlings.
