House One, Almost Done

I filled the bird feeder this morning.  All of the birds in the neighborhood come.  It is gone in twenty-four hours.  Alisha came by and got three more golden current plants.

The photos below represents some of the thing that I did today.
 I found this praying Mantis egg capsule and brought into house two for the Praying Mantis to emerge.  The dark speck in the center is a baby Praying Mantis.
The Toma-hooks are pictured above.  I made them with various kinds of wire.  The twine is rolled up on the hooks which are hanging on the over-head wire waiting for the next crop.
A month ago, Carolyn Stevens brought me some seed.  I transplanted them today.  There are two different corianders, two different basils.  Big leaf and Italian basil.

 Above one is basil.
Curl-leaf parsley. The top two six packs were transplanted two weeks ago and the rest today. There are thirty-six plants.

A plant in house three is blooming.  It has off white colored hanging trumpet blossoms.
I finished this evening in house one.  I opened the two north doors. The eggplants against the west wall are gone.  I put all the plant material north of the north end of house one.  The winds that we had a couple of days ago covered all everything with dust.  When I cut them down, raked them, and made a pile on the outside; it was dusty.  It is on my clothes and in my eyes and nose.  The cleaning that if have left is on the east side.
