the dirt / July 22

I started doing some of the gardening that needs attending to, I was outside most of the day.  I put a support around the lemon balm, which had been on top of various other things.  Then, I added more ties and sticks to support the tomatoes, cut back a couple of things, moved a couple of things.

Common birds: house sparrow, cardinal (pair)

Summer visitors: red-wing blackbird (female)

Overhead: red-tailed hawk
