I did not plant anything today - what restraint ;) I have winnowed out the sunflower heads from last year, the basil seed and a lot of the broom corn seed. Just that tiny bit of red broom corn I bought last year has reproduced itself thousandfold. I have given some away to anyone who wanted some at work - hopefully it will feed other birds this next coming winter. We have so many new and different birds this year - because of the logging opening up our woods. There are also quail and turkey I am hearing in the woods, and saw last year.
Work tomorrow, but also more seed preparation for the weekend. There are still marigold heads and zinnias to strip out and maybe a dozen field corn cobs to strip as well. The only planted seeds that have a chance of being up this weekend are some of the beans and the radishes. I will see and report! I bought a Japanese eggplant that will likely be planted tomorrow. I have never grown eggplant before, but am willing to try. They are self-pollinating, like tomatoes, so just one plant should do well.
Also: My sunburn is very itchy! Tonight after returning home from work - being inside all day long mind you - I am itching up a storm more than 24 hours after having been in the sun. I have such a weird system. It is like that with nearly anything heavy I lift as well - 24 hours or so later my muscles are telling me about it... but not before, unless I do something really unwise and then I know it almost immediately.
