Thursday Yardening
Today is cloudy, cool, and damp. It's drizzling, but that didn't stop me from going outside.
I fed the birds. Yesterday I saw two brown thrashers and a robin under the feeders in the forest garden. I put out a new thistle sock yesterday too -- the old one got chewed through -- and the finches have already discovered it. I saw a yellow-bellied woodpecker in the yard today.
My daffodils are blooming, and so are two different colors of miniature iris -- the pale blue I planted previously and the bright violet that are new this year. :D
A shipment of plants arrived today. That leaves just one more to come, which I hope will not arrive too soon. I planted two tayberries (a blackberry relative) in the berry patch at the end of the prairie garden.
