If you're a fellow backyard birder from Massachusetts, here's an interesting, fairly quick way in which to participate in a backyard bird count. You have the option of participating online or through snail-mail. I chose online - it was enlightening to realize how many species frequent my feeding stations - an easy, and revealing, questionnaire.

To enter their website, click on Massachusetts Aububon Society. Scroll to the second item (or click on the following) 'Focus on Feeders' and click on that arrow, which takes you to the participation page (great photo of 3 robins). Click on #2 or 3, depending on your preference, to fill out the form. There is also a wildlife photo contest, running concurrently, as well as a drawing for several prizes (taken from among the ranks of survey entrants).

Have fun - it's the perfect antidote to a cold, rainy election day! (And, yes, I cast my ballot, on this "Super-duper Tuesday." Hope you found time to be involved in "the process "... your vote counts!)

To many people the idea of growing plants is a crazy concept. Hydroponic gardening has been around for thousands of years and many small farms have begun to embrace this method of gardening.

Nowadays bonsai are used for the same purpose as they used to be, to decorate a room, house and buildings in general. People find it amazing that small plants like these can look so grown up, scarred and shaped as old oaks.

Appropriate light is essential to caring for orchids. Orchids aren't difficult to grow, if you can provide the right light. But how can you tell how much light your windows actually give your plants?

The Top photo is of a slightly battered Stawberry Honeoye flower. I took the bare root plants out of each bag and had to soak the roots for five minutes before planting. The second photo is of a Sea shell I found in the Strawberry plant roots. Both the Strawberry Elsanta and Honeoye were cultivated in Holland.
I wandered how a sea shell ended up in the Strawberry root system. I also found out a likely answer. Any guesses how the Strawberry and Sea shell met?
Am working four nights now so posts will slow down. The Strawberry plants are chilling in the cosy cold frame at the moment. The sea shell is on the kitchen work surface.
I will add the Answer tomorrow!
