Deep Root Watering & Tree Care Blog

It’s February and if you are like me, you are starting to dream big about your summer garden. You may be starting to stare longingly at green things and wish your toes were warm again. Or, you may be starting to forget what a sunburn feels like. And you’re starting to plan your garden.

Maybe you have your routine down: you have your perennials, your favorite vegetables, and your plots all laid out already. However, you may be ready to change it up. Maybe you’re frustrated with some things about gardening and ready to be different.

Have you ever noticed a fancy birdhouse and thought about building one yourself? I have such great memories of watching birds at my grandfather’s kitchen window, sitting at his breakfast table. He always kept a birdfeeder or two right by the window. A constant stream of finches and hummingbirds made for a happy morning quite often. However, what I didn’t learn until later was that some of those birds made the fruit and vegetables in his nearby garden grow bigger and healthier.
