We have many cracks in our ground, some so wide we're not letting the dogs run around in case they might step in one of the two foot deep crevasses (good thing we don't have horses). My gardens are doing well, however, because I mulched heavily and the ground is not losing moisture as quickly as the grassy areas.</div>

We have four Purple Martin houses, each with 12 "apartments." I look in the houses at least once a week to make sure sparrows have not built nests in them. If they do, I pull them out, Sparrows are invasive and will kill babies and adults. They also will peck the eggs or push them out. They do this to martins, bluebirds, catbirds, wrens, robins and cardinals, at least.). Here is what's growing in some of the apartments.</div>
