Birdman approves the pic! :-)
Tomorrow I hope to put my Valencia Orange tree seeds in water to soak (24 hours, I think?). I realize it sounds nuts to even think of trying such a cockamamie venture in Oklahoma. But I’m a stubborn curmudgeon. Planning to put them in large containers once they reach sapling size, so that if necessary (weather, etc.), I can put ‘em in the garage temporarily. I’ve bought two of those round things with casters on the bottom to make moving the containers less excruciating.
No watermelons for me this year, though. They choked out just about everything else I was trying to grow. Neighbor lady said she may grow some this year, so maybe I can trade her some green beans or tomatoes (assuming I succeed with them).
Been seeing a couple of yellow-headed blackbirds sprinkled in among the huge gangs of ravenous “ordinary” blackbirds. Somehow makes it less annoying to see a full bird feeder demptied inside 15 minutes by the others. Heh.
“...yellow-headed blackbirds...”
I’ve only seen them a time or two in my lifetime. They showed up in season with the Red Winged Blackbirds and then were gone again.
They’re related to Meadowlarks and Bobolinks - I did not know that! :)
