With our cold,wet spring, nothing seems to be growing very well around these parts. The garden is about three weeks behind season, which is death for pumpkins and such, and the tomatoes will be late, making for a smaller harvest. It is good to know that somethings are still able to live a grow, our little nest box is full of the first round of baby birds. I love walking around the corner of the house to hear their tiny chirps. When they are grown and have left the nest we will clean out the box and another round of babies will be hatched, we can usually get three hatchings in a season.
Neato!!! And so good to know. A friend of mine swears that birds don’t use birdhouses.
They will use a birdhouse, if it is the right kind of birdhouse for the particular bird you are trying to attract. We did some research before we got our birdhouse, we wanted to house finch and for the last 6 or so years is has worked. 🙂
Sorry to hear about your weather–ours is unseasonably cold and wet; 2 bad years in a row for gardener and farmer alike here!
Congrats on your baby birds–that is SO neat! I bet your children love it:)
Beautiful lilac BTW!
Blessings,
Aimee
