Okay, so my garden's a bit pathetic this year. And it feels like it took FOREVER to really get going. But I am FINALLY able to feed my birds from my own garden!
Through the winter, and whenever my garden isn't doing well, I have to buy greens from the grocery store to feed my birds. Greens I like to buy include:
Collards
Mustard
Kale
Broccoli
Dandelions (when I can actually find them)
These are all great from the garden, too, but my birds also enjoy:
Nasturtiums (flowers and leaves)
Pansies (flowers and leaves)
Roses (just the flowers - no thorns!)
And of course, all the dandelions my garden is so good at growing!
And the best part is - these are all edible for people, too! So you can add some color and flavor to your salads with birdy greens.
These are just a few of the possibilities for feeding your birds, but be sure to do your research before feeding anything new. There are plants out there that don't agree with birds.
Happy Birding!
