Spent the morning making paper pots for seeds. The kind I can get started during autumn and winter - rarely drops below freezing here in winter, so easier to do than for many other gardeners. 🌱

🌱 The zinnias are starting to die, but not enough for me to start pulling them out. Between them and the purple sage there is still a veritable party of insects visiting every day.

The lavender was past its prime, and clearly suffering. So, we replaced them with some lovely Portulaca oleracea. Besides this one, we also have a red flower with smaller orange accents, but it has far less blooms at the moment. 🌱

After weeks of only Sparrows and Weavers enjoying the bird feeder, I was excited yesterday when a pair of Bronze Mannikins showed up. This morning, there were three. They are tiny, but aren't intimidated by the Sparrows and Weavers.
