Week 40 Gardening & Birding

The fields are harvested and bare,
And Winter whistles through the square.
October dresses in flame and gold
Like a woman afraid of growing old.
– Ann Mary Lawler

Week 40 is a good time for planting native flowers and shrubs to attract local birds. Set up bird feeders and baths to provide food and water sources. Create a bird-friendly habitat by avoiding pesticides and offering nesting materials. Spend time observing and documenting the different bird species that visit your garden. This not only enhances your gardening experience but also supports local wildlife. Engage in citizen science projects like the Big Garden Birdwatch and the Great Backyard Bird Count to contribute to bird conservation efforts.
