August, 2026

This is for three days: the 5th, the 6th and the 7th of August, 2026.

on the 5th I planted the desert willow and saw 4 spade foot and another amphibian

on the 6th I saw 9 spade foot mating in my pond.

on the 7th I planted Bisbee Black Cowpea from Native Seed Search in the garden. I actually planted each bean individually instead of scattering because there were only like 25 beans. I have plenty of different beans/cowpea that come up on their own but I like to add new locally adapted strains hoping I will get a Zap Gardens hybrid with the good characteristics of all of them.

Also on the 7th the DWC was operational and the vertical tower with 50 slots had its water changed and new notes added.
