After mulling over various books and websites, I made the plunge and started ordering seeds. My first lot is vegetables mostly, with a few flowers thrown in for good measure. The order was $50, making it the first significant purchase that directly makes the garden grow.

My PlanGarden is coming along nicely. I have made some final decisions as to colors and locations of various elements. There are still a few things to be finalized, but that’ll have to wait until I research my berry plants a bit more and make the final order for them.

I was taking pictures of a thief in my birdfeeders:

When suddenly, he, along with many small birds, scrambled to hide as a new visitor arrived:

After a few minutes, he decided pickings were slim and went off to find better. This is the second time I’ve had a visit from this hawk, or his kin. They make for a stunning few moments of awe and then they move on and the little critters come back out to play again.
