again we have snow today.So feeding the birds was one of the first thing to do beside feeding the outdoor cats. In the fall i left all the plants in the front yard die off from the freeze like the echinecias, Love Lies Bleeding( Amaranths)and the various type of sage and basil During the big snow the birds were feasting on all those seed producing plants and this year I will plant more of the amaranths because they were a big hit with all the birds So if you are bird lovers think about maybe planting some in your yard. and they do reseed themselves....
