     A flock of hummingbirds is called a Charm.  Last night we had such a large charm of hummingbirds at the feeders in the kitchen garden that I had to refill them first thing this morning.  There are hummingbirds at the two feeders by the front of the garage but not so many that we can't count  them.

      My doctor jumped through enough hoops to get the hospital to agree to give me an iron transfusion without seeing a specialist.   I couldn't get to see a specialist until September.  It was Friday afternoon so now I have to wait until Monday to schedule it.

      Pie pumpkins and a second round of cucumbers were planted in four inch pots yesterday.  Heather planted some flowers yesterday but no vegetables were planted.  Weeding was on yesterday's to do list.  And checking for cucumber beetles., even under the row covers.  It seems early to be battling them.  The result of a mild winter?

      Gilbert's watermelon seeds are germinating.  This forecast shows why they are started late and why they stay in the warm greenhouse until mid June.  Jay will be planting ours today.  By planting the zucchini and summer squash in the garden he made room for pots of melons in the greenhouse.  The squash is planted in black plastic with remay over the rows to keep them warm.

     May your day be blessed, Sally
