We don't boil our water beu we use filtered water from our cold faucet and then nuke it in the microwave.<br />The slow upload does sound like a slow connection.

I agree what Ma said about her blog posts; they used to be there faithfully in my Dashboard in the mornings for me to read, now they don't show up until the evening. Frustrating!<br /><br />I can tell you what quail would like to eat, but clueless about hummingbirds. I did hear the sweeter the better?<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-1571424034770464572016-05-12T23:32:17.166-04:002016-05-12T23:32:17.166-04:00A piece of Iris will be a field of iris in a few y...A piece of Iris will be a field of iris in a few years. They are beautiful but continue to multiply each year.

No matter how they try and disguise it, birds - and my hubby - can tell the difference! :)<br /><br />A bag of iris' on your step? Perhaps the work of a May Day re-enactment? No matter, I'm sure they'll be lovely.

BUT they love sugar water that you mix yourself. Don't even bother adding the red food coloring. They will flock to the clear-water and sugar....and from what I've read, the food coloring isn't good for them anyway. So...it's a win/win. Mix the sugar and water and skip the food coloring. Hummers love it. <br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-9492177068260635342016-05-12T22:26:54.477-04:002016-05-12T22:26:54.477-04:00I love mysteries.

I/4 cup sugar to 1 cup of water. Not saying I'm an expert but they always come to it. My one tomato plant has ten little tomatoes. I bought a yard of net to cover it when the birds start pecking on them. They are still tiny.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-65111419040623489702016-05-12T20:29:35.212-04:002016-05-12T20:29:35.212-04:00The same thing has been happening with my blog pos...The same thing has been happening with my blog posts.

They are still<br />blooming and doing great. I wish I would have planted grape tomatoes instead of the big boys. They are full of green tomatoes waiting for them to turn red..I always had good luck with the grape tomatoes They were not in the <br />garden shop to buy.

So ...Your little frog is probably a night critter. So he is probably sleeping in the pipe during the day. He probably wonders why you spend all night in bed.<br />Two hours of sun is not really enough for tomatoes. You may get some, but probably they will be fewer and smaller. <br />As for your hummer, most likely it is the ruby-throated hummingbird. If you are never seeing any iridescent red at the neck, it is just probably the female you are seeing. I think NC might have a stray hummingbird of a different species every now and then, but practically speaking, the ruby-throated is the only one we have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198585505712843153noreply@blogger.com
