Well I covered the remaining seedlings. I hope it helps. I also pulled all the chairs away from the table.

I keep thinking about starting seeds. I've had some more than two years and I always keep thinking about it but, never doing. A nap always sounds better to me.

Don't count on pulling the chairs out to stop a mouse. They will climb the table legs if there is no other way.

Have you thought about putting out a bucket of death for them? Take a bucket, fill it three quarters full with water and float sunflower seeds in it. The mice will jump in to get the seeds and drown.

Yeah, they aren't the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.

It got up over 40 today so I went awol. Cleaned out a nesting box then went for a walk to cut dried grass to use in the boxes. The chickens actually ventured outside today once the snow melted. I tossed them some left over apples from last fall and they were happily pecking away at them.

Thank Micro. I saved some sunflower seeds some where. If I can't find them I will pick some up.

Diva I do my planting in the morning as I'm drinking my coffee.

All these up and down temps have my blueberries and elderberries budding out. And another freeze next week.

I usually mix scratch and sunflower seed for the chickens in a big plastic garbage can. One day it had maybe 15 pounds of seed left in it and I forgot to put the lid on the night before. Lighting isn't the greatest in the shop. Next morning I reached in to scoop out a coffee can full and noticed a dark blob in the bottom of the can, started to reach in to pull it out when it moved A big fat mouse had fallen in on it's quest for dinner and couldn't get back out. I dropped a fruit jar over it, slid a piece of cardboard under it and toted it out to the road where it got tossed a good distance.

At least it got evicted with a full stomach. Considering it was a four foot drop to the bottom of that garbage can, it's pretty funny to think like that mouse did. It got in without knowing it couldn't get out. Like I said not the brightest animals on earth.

I can't find the pics I've shared on here? And now I can't search the threads either.

Had rain real light almost all day today just pain in the butt really
figured where to put all the bulbs now have to wait to put them in

I planted some perineal phlox and I am waiting for it to come up. I want to plant in in my two front beds on either side of my porch. In front of the daffodils and iris.
