Saturday morning the fountain was set back into the birdbath and hooked up. After a few minutes it started working. It was not shooting a great jet of water or anything, but it did work. It was put in the greenhouse before I went to the office because a freeze was projected for Sunday morning.
The greenhouse is almost ready for the bedding plants to be started. All that is missing is the seeds. An attempt was made to place an order with Park Seed, but their webpage did not seem to be working properly. The order was submitted several times but there was some type of endless loop that prevented the order going through. There has not been time to re-place the order.
Sunday morning a new planting of onions and radishes was set out. The weather will likely be too cold for them to grow as fast as the earlier plantings but the freezes don’t really hurt them and the sunny days will produce some growth. The radishes that were planted earlier are so big that they look like turnips.

Fountain Won’t Squirt
Michael was ordering a birdbath with a solar fountain for his wife Winter’s Christmas present. I asked him to order a birdbath fountain for me to fit in the birdbath at home. The thing did not have directions and I am not very mechanically inclined. I put it together wrong once for sure.
The second assembly appears to be correct, but there may just not have been enough sun. There is a pine tree that is blocking some of the sun and since it also could fall on the house or a power line, there is a good reason to remove it. There are quite a few pine trees that meet that same criteria, so when the 1st of the year comes maybe some of those trees and a Poplar and a Mimosa will be cut down.
The poor sunlight may not be the reason the fountain did not work. There is a phone # for the company that made the fountain in the box. Perhaps a phone call will get better instructions.
