Pat ate the leftover pizza, but at least he didn’t eat the crickets. I refilled my hummingbird feeders. I probably should have watered the gardens this morning. Too late now ... I’ll do it in the evening.

I seem to be overwatering. One of the watermelons rotted on the vine and one on the same vine got end blossom rot, so it’s likely no watermelons this year (I calciumated the tomato area but didn’t do anywhere else.)
Great to hear that Pat didn’t eat the crickets!
There were some really big black birds in the south yard today. Crows or ravens? Maybe that’s where the strawberries are going. As long as they ingest bugs, too, am willing to share produce. How do you train them to finish one item instead of taking a little bit of many items?
Finally figured out how to make a really good salsa that’s simple (6-7 ingredients unless forgetting something which is probable) so we bought extra sweet onions to make a lot of it and freeze it unless there are too many tomatoes in which case we should stew and can them.
