satsuma flowers 2003-04-07 - 11:55 a.m. � 2003 by Elaine Radford, all rights reserved After four dry springs in a row, we've finally had a decent rainy season, and the backyard Satsuma has exploded in bloom. Even the troubled Satsuma in the front yard is showing a flower or two. I heard the slightly crazed laughter of a woodpecker but didn't see it. It didn't sound maniacal enough to be Pileated. Perhaps it was a Flicker. Turning over an empty flower pot, I discovered my first Gulf Coast Toad of the year. I dug up the Orange Mint bed, put in when I was constantly traveling and needed an invasive plant to fill the bed, and have covered it first in newspaper, then with peat humus, then with potting soil, then with humus again. I have pots and pots of Orange Mint and, assuming they transplant well, which they generally do, I should have herbal tea and sprigs for juleps and Camparis until well into next winter. I'm thinking of digging out the Oregano bed as well, but it will have to wait until I get more dirt and compost. I made a nice salad with the green and red leaf lettuce from the garden, with the addition of some wild garlic dug out of the lawn. I sprinkled the yellow flowers from some escaped birdseed on top. This plant looks like broccoli and the flowers taste like broccoli sprouts, but I'm pretty sure it's rape. I thought they'd changed the name of rape to canola, but apparently only a special variety of rape, that produces lots of oil, is called canola. I sprinkled feta cheese over all. Soon I won't have any wild garlic left in the lawn. Unfortunately, I think it would be too weird if I helped myself to the neighbor's. later The male Northern Cardinal has discovered the sunflower seed feeder we put up this weekend and is eating so fast that the sunflower shells are flying. later Torrential thunderstorm this afternoon. The lights kept blinking, and I was afraid that the electricity would go out, so I kept the computer off for a few hours. It sounds like it's getting cranked up again, so I'll probably sign off in a few minutes. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
