Hi ya’ll! Do you know if the thistle is not fresh the GF won't come to it? Check for freshness by putting a thistle on a piece of paper and cutting in half with your finger nail. I you see a small damp stain that is oil and the thistle is fresh. If you see nothing, it is last years crop and it will not attract the GF.

At 50º, it's 40º warmer than yesterday morning and we're enjoying sun and warm breezes with it, a wonderful respite from frigid temps we've had.

A bright Sunday to Amy's Place!

No, Ditter, I did NOT know that. That is valuable information, and I thank you for sharing with us! I think my GF’s toss out more seed than they eat, but that gives the quail and ground sparrows food. (Oh - and the little pocket gopher, who pops out, grabs a mouthful and disappears back into his little hole!)
