    It does not please me to sit here and watch a large flock of kingbirds fly into the blueberry patch.  We'll have to think about netting next year.  I've no idea how much that will cost.  A few are flying into Gilbert and Barbie's blueberries.  I just googled birds in blueberries.  A frame with netting is best.  Grape koolaid repels them.  Also a strong sugar solution.  Terror eye balloons scare the birds away. Now that the birds  have found the patch they will return every year.

   The forecast says we will be doing a lot of watering in the next few weeks,  The garden pond isn't far from the bee hives but I'm going to set up a watering station right by the hives.  I bought a float valve so it will be kept full automatically.  The pollen will be very dry.

   My lettuce and broccoli seeds have germinated.  It is time to plant fall gardens.  It was time a week or so ago but it isn't too late.

   Last night I made kombucha for the first time.  Fermented foods are supposed to be very good for us.  I'm taking a fermentation class.  I've never been successful at making sauerkraut.  We're going to try making it as soon as we have lots of cabbage.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
