    I learned last week that purslane is full of omega 3 and very good for your heart. Finally saw another hummingbird. Didn't see any for a while after we had several nights in the low 30s. Also saw my new neighbor put out 2 hummer feeders - YEA! Our nights are still in the 40s and, as normal, lots of rain and humidity. Everyone's weather is crazy this year! We can only do the best that we can and learn from it.

    Thanks Robbie. I always love your tours. I live in Australia and after a very cool summer we are now going into a very cold winter. Look up Adapt 2030 channel David Dubyne explains why you are going to have a cool wet summer due to the volcanos he does a lot of research. I love that you feed the hummingbirds they look so cute. We are wildlife carers and when the weather is bad I think you need to support the wildlife We have destroyed so much of their habitats We have a noisy miner bird and a blue faced honeyeater that we raised and released last summer that come to our door every morning for a feed of honeyeater mix. They also come inside the house and fly around eating the spiders then leave.

    Keep the tomato plant it survived the winter ❤ save the seeds and keep growing it, you wull have abundance of them and a cold hardy breed. I say keep the strong ones and find another place for the other new plants to test them and see how they do.
    I always keep and love the things that survive me 😂 considering there are few and far between, reward them for their success and endurance ❤

    I am in Southern Utah in the high desert. It's about 5500 feet in altitude and we had a cold and wet winter, which we really needed. I can't count on no more frosts until early June. I usually get male hummingbirds about May 1, but this year I got some in the middle of April. I don't know why I got them so early this year, but maybe they know something I don't about what the weather is going to be like.
