Since then, I've been waiting patiently for the seeds. OK, maybe not always so patiently: I do have other things I want to plant in that space this spring.
A friend asked me how I'd know when the seeds are ready. Instead of the usual answer describing how the seed pods dry up and split open, I replied, "The birds will let me know!" And they did.
They had quite a feast today. I hope they leave some for me.
Are those finches?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea - I don't know birds! I need to learn about birds, though, since I seem to be attracting more and different birds (and other critters) in my garden each year.
ReplyDeleteHouse finches are always there when seeds are ready. I use the same method for dame's rocket!
ReplyDeleteAnd there we have it from a reliable source: finches. Maybe you can ID some of my other birds, GONSS.
