Yes, tin foil is a total game changer with celery!Aha, tin foil! Thanks, I will do that. So many uses tin foil has! Protects your brain from those pesky mind reading Aliens, too.
Will try it with yellow squash & bell peppers, too.
I love the name LunaNot yet! We’ve been watching signs…mild ones so far. I’ve spent way too many days worried about a goat’s back end…but, tis the kidding season. The worst forecast weather is for this evening and tonight. So, in the goat code book, this is ideal to give birth due to weather extremes.
Maybe they will hold off for the eclipse!! We can name them things like “Sol” or “Luna” or other celestial sun/moon type names.
I keep several bird feeders outside my office window. (I work from home). I enjoy watching the birds come to eat... We get a lot of finches... These are my regular visitors:Indoors today, planting seeds in starter trays, hard boiling & pickling eggs. I'm off work today.
So here we go...Rain Again! Coming down rather heavy this morning. It started at 3am & we've got 3 days of it. Tuesday will be rough, they're calling it a red alert, with wind, hail & perhaps tornado warnings. It warmed up last night, as I was putting the tiller & mower away (yes we got a filter at Auto Zone on Easter Sunday & changed the oil yesterday, too). So I see the winds will shift, SE to NE, so when that colder air meets warm air, I get weather anxiety. 2 tornadoes 🌪 have blown right through here over the past few years & it is scary. All of this heavy rain & flooding are one thing, tornadoes are another.
On a positive note, the blueberry plants are looking gorgeous with blooms. If the wind & hail do not decimate them, it will be a bountiful blueberry year.

This little guy was outside my bedroom window, singing a sweet song. He & his mate are building a nest in a thick pine shrub. They're House sparrows. We have Purple Finches in this region, too, kinda hard to differentiate at 1st glance. (Forgive the window glare, I didn't want to disturb them just for the sake of an outside pic.)

In mythology and folklore, the house finch is often associated with love, happiness, and good luck. This bird has been a symbol of vitality and passion in various cultures around the world.
I love All of them. The woodpeckers are amazing, their colors & feather patterns are so gorgeous. I get a kick out of them, Noisy buggers, though! They sure did a number on one of my tree trunks.
It takes a long time to sprout. Mine was thinner than the thick stalks from the store. I picked it as I wanted to eat it, and it is fabulous.
I love the idea of fish in the tank
