Vague update
First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, chaosvizier!
-------------
Today's gardening update is that the bunnies at the corn seedlings, the little fuckers. They did this last year and I replanted, so I'll replant again now. But they have demonstrated willingness to hop up on the Earthbox, so I may need a fence or something to keep them off the corn once it grows.
Also, we are living in a permanently overcast world, with cloudcover for the past week, continuing through the weekend. My plants are so sad and confused and desperate for sun. It's the first week of May and hasn't cracked 70° in weeks. Everything is growing so slowly.
Saw the two fattest doves ever this morning, pecking around in my front flower beds where there are lots of bugs and seeds. Seriously these were huge doves, practically spherical. They could be quail, for all I know. (I doubt quail are roosting around the suburbs of Philadelphia.)
I need to work a small bed in next to the lamppost so I can plant my sunflower. I have exactly one, but I really want it to grow and be a giant ridiculous flower in my yard.
