There's a fairly high budget tv show that films in my neighbourhood....today, on one of the sunniest, warmest days we've had around here for a while, the crews are shovelling snow onto the side of the road. It's being trucked in. Melting faster than they can shovel it 😆
I just put them in the ground or pot and cover them. They'll grow. I also grow green onions from the roots I've cut off.
Ring neck pheasant wandering through a friend's yard in a rural area south of Vancouver, BC....totally unfazed by people (and the dogs we had with us) #birds
