oh yes very definetly! we would sit out at dusk and watch them swooping out of the area. I found the plans on the internet and they were pretty easy to make. all of the girls made one to keep and then at least one extra one for parks and playgrounds as a service project

Bless your kitten kindling heart! I'll download some of those and see what I can do. Must finish the garden stuff first, though!

if you make this a project with the grandson, I think you'll have a blast!

I’m getting ready to go to the hardware store and pick up some more fencing material for the garden. I thought I had enough, but as a certain former U.S. President would say, I “misunderestimated.”

(I won’t say which president. I’ll just think of the one in question and Whistle.)

we had so much rain this last week I think I may have lost a few plants to rain scald ;o(

You know what? I've seen those around at various places when hiking and never knew what they were. Thank You!

for whatever reason I have never grown potatoes before. I bought a potato growing "kit" at the Farmer's Market yesterday. it consists of a burlap bag and a bunch of seed potatoes. the vendor simply talked about heaping dirt on the potatoes and slowly unrolling the top of the bag. she indicated the dirt heaping should be sporadic. I also seem to recall that your are supposed to cut seed potatoes? in quarters? I feel so unprepared to be a potato gardner!

If you cut them, each quarter must have an "eye" - which will sprout the new plant. And - like bulbs - plant them with the eye facing up - so the plant will head towards the surface. If these are tiny potatoes, plant them whole with any visible eyes facing up.

This is my... hmm... "garden", is the Backyard I suppose...

With some effort, maybe we can call it "garden" in a couple years
