The peas are coming up in rows. So are the arugula, spinach, and radishes. I planted them all maybe a week ago. Tomatoes I put in this past monday are well established and thriving.
We're hitting the point where dandelions are taking over. Many plants, some have their yellow flowerheads out, none have hit the point where they are white and have put their seed pods out for the wind to take them. Some of the corners of the untilled corn fields are covered in them.
Alfalfa is growing well in the fields already. Expect a cutting sometime soon. I wonder if they need to reseed that every once in a while, or if it's like grass, just comes up and you cut it like hay?
I've seen a lot of white-crowned sparrows at the bird feeder, they like to peck around at the ground and not really fly up onto the feeding tray. It would be a good idea to get out my hummingbird feeder, even though I haven't seen any around. If they know you have nectar in the past, they will come back to the same location and look for it. I wonder how they find my house after migrating.
