Getting Ready For Spring - Birdhouses


I'm really getting spring fever. Hubby and I went shopping today and started stocking up on garden seeds. Since it's below freezing and we got a little snow today, they'll have to stay on the shelf for a little while longer! One thing I can start doing is getting my birdhouses ready. There are some species (like bluebirds) that are actually starting to check out nesting sites.
I enjoy growing birdhouse gourds and turning them into unique birdhouses. I sell some and hang some around my gardens. Since I like color, they always add a bright spot and hopefully make a nice home for the wrens, bluebirds or other prairie birds. You can find some of my birdhouses listed in my Ebay store or my Etsy store.
