Our little red headed bird with a pretty yellow chest was here a little bit ago. And the hummingbirds are back. I hope the neighbor has really taken up feeding those. So I can continue to focus on the birds. Now is about establishing natural plants in my garden. And now I’m also inspired. I […]
The first potatoes
So can it be done in a sack? Return so that my Miracle-Gro, cut the potatoes and the sacks got to figure out where they’re going to live.
