Blossoms and Biplanes�

2003-04-22

The nasturtiums are blooming now. They�ve really liked the wet weather. I�ve planted sunflowers in several areas, but only a couple of areas are actually coming up. Snails and slugs, despite my best precautions, are getting most of my seedlings.

I�ve decided on a new method, now. Plant stuff in pots and then, when they�ve gotten past the �one bite of a snail�s meal� size; transplant them.

Yesterday I saw the biplane again. I heard this rough, growling engine in the sky, and when I finally spotted the source of the noise, it was the biplane. I think �The Biplane� because it seems very unlikely that there�s more than one in this area. I may be wrong.
