Have you noticed how many geese are in the sky and fields? I guess they
dont feel a need to go south. It is really amazing how Mother Nature takes
care of them.
I have missed seeing the birds we used to have in town. I loved feeding
the cardinals, the finches, and even the blue-jays. For some reason there
just doesnt seem to be the different types of birds here in the country
that were in town.
Are you looking for projects you and the kids maybe can do? Then I have
some more ideas to share with you. Though maybe not a true gardening
project, it is fun to feed the birds.
Pinecones coated with peanut butter and then rolled in birdseed make great
bird feeders. Have the kids keep track of all the different types of birds
that visit your backyard and what date each was first spotted.
Another fun project you and your family might consider doing now is trying
your hand at forcing branches to bloom indoors. There are several
different kinds of branches you can use, such as forsythia, pussywillow,
quince, Spiraea and dogwood, just to name a few.
Select branches loaded with plump flower buds. Branches with curves or
bends create an interesting blooming arrangement. Make long, slanted cuts
when collecting the branches.
Submerge the branches overnight in a deep pail or tub of water (60 to 70
degrees is best) or wrap them in a plastic bag for a few days. This
moistening and soaking loosens the bud scales and helps them to readily
fall away. Change the water every four days. Blooms should emerge within
three weeks.
