Sunday Yardening
May. 19th, 2019 05:36 pmIt rained earlier today, wiping out my first attempt at yardening. :/ Now it is partly sunny, blustery, and mild.
I got out to feed the birds. Today I have seen sparrows, doves, grackles, a pair of robins, a pair of cardinals, a pair of goldfinches, an indigo bunting, a catbird, and a rabbit. :D
I trimmed weeds around part of the septic garden, then planted gladioli bulbs and some wildflower seeds.
EDIT 5/19/19: I finished trimming around the septic garden and planted more wildflower seeds there.
EDIT 5/19/19: I started trimming around the wagonwheel garden and put some gladioli in there.
