Corny Strawberries a'Hummin

Today, Hubby, aka MisterSnowflake, put a fresh battery on the electric fence for the bee yard. He also planted two more furrows of corn (Early Vee and Sweet). Our 14-year old weeded the old strawberry bed. The green beans and the peas that were planted last week are up. He deep-watered all the berries and the veggies with the hand-wand. The shallots are 4 inches high! And the onions are about 3 inches high.

While they were out there, they refilled the hummingbird feeder and the local hummingbird stopped by! They also hung out another bird feeder. The resident squirrel has figured out how to get to the one out by the orchard. We had fun watching it a few days ago as it hopped from branch to branch trying to figure it out.

We're happy and thankful for progress as we're slowly changing the microclimate out there!
