Birdfeeding: Friends of a Feather Flock Together

Today is mostly cloudy, breezy, and mild. It rained off and on yesterday.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen much activity yet.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I planted 4 sweet basil, 1 lemon basil, and 1 purple basil in pots on the patio.  That finished off one flat of herbs.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I planted a Lantana 'Cherry Sunrise' and an Old-Fashioned Climbing Petunia in the barrel garden. The petunia is what my grandmother callled "yesterday-today-and-tomorrow" because the flowers open white, turn pale pink, then darken to orchid. I planted a Joe Pye Weed in the prairie garden.  This concludes the Select Seeds order.

The first raspberry blossoms are opening. :D

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I filled each of the two white owl pots with a 'Dusty Miller' artemesia, a white petunia, two blue lobelia, and two purple-and-white verbena.  I filled the blue chalk-horse pot with a purple petunia, a white petunia, and four purple and white mix sweet alyssum.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I sowed moonflower and morning glory seeds in the barrel garden.  I sowed Shithouse Marigold seeds in the oval pot on the old picnic table and several pots in the septic garden and new picnic table.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I planted 4 perennial pinks in the notch of the prairie garden.  

Nannyberry and wood hyacinths are blooming.  Irises and blackberries have flower buds.  :D

More drizzle, but not the promised storm, which is fine.

EDIT 5/1/25 -- I planted 4 marigolds around the 'Mr. Stripey' tomato, then added Shithouse Marigold seeds.

I've heard blue jays and catbirds, but haven't seen them.

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