Birdfeeding

It's a beautiful fall day out, sunny and mild with just a little breeze.

I fed the birds.

I scooped ash out of the firepit. This time it occurred to me to try pushing it into a bucket like I do with mulch, which was much more efficient than trying to shovel it. I sprinkled the ash around the prairie garden as fertilizer.

Two different sunchokes are blooming. I wasn't sure any had survived, but evidently some did. \o/ There's another yellow flower blooming amidst the big bluestem, which has its little turkey-feet open. Over in the wildflower garden, a purple aster is blooming. :D

Our ironweed started blooming this week.
If you don't already have some, please look around for some you can transplant into your wildflower garden. Its bold purple flowers are very beautiful.
