As if I don't have enough projects I decided to take on another long term fun project to help pass time in the winter. I never really spent too much time worrying about the birds in my yard but last year my older brother inspired me to consider adding a bird feeder to my permaculture setting. That led me to break out the birdhouse my daughter built a few years ago and actually put it to use. Then I found some nice plans for a fun to build bird feeder with my trusty Makita hypoid circular saw and put that in the yard last spring. Shortly afterward I was doing more bird research and decided a birdbath with a running pump would be easy and cheap to build and I did with my children. At the time I didn't realize how useful it would become as a waterer for the honey bees in my yard.
Somehow back in September, I came across Project FeederWatch created by Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada. I was intrigued and perused the information about this long-standing project to monitor birds. The intent is to help scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. For a small $15 fee I learned, I could participate in the scientific project and become involved with tracking the ecological health of birds in my backyard. I have participated in projects before like the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) on my computers. But I had not participated in a long term scientific project before even when I was a Physics student at Pitt years ago. Project FeederWatch runs annually from November through early April and basically consists of observing birds in the backyard each week over a consecutive two day period. Notes are taken on the types of birds observed and recorded on the Project FeederWatch website.
In late October I received a cool package of materials including a beautiful bird identification poster, an informative booklet on birds, their habitat, bird food, bird disease, and the subject of today's short video, squirrel-proof bird feeders. So this past weekend I was ready to jump in the car and go to Home Depot to get some bird feeders and remembered tenet 2 of my financial savings plan: Does anything I have to fill the role now? The answer was yes. I got all kinds of resources at home and what you see in the video was built in just a day. One feeder consists of 2 inch PVC pipe, some hardware cloth, a coat hanger, a wooden dowel, and a yogurt cup. The other design consists of an empty 2-liter grape jug, hardware cloth, coat hanger, and a dowel. Both feeders were painted black to keep bacteria growth down and I filled them with stones to the level of the first feeding holes. I decided to spend a little extra money ($16) and use some nice sunflower seeds for the feed b

It is so cold in the middle of winter today and there's nothing that can be harvested from outside. However, just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't get your own greens indoors and under your own control. Today I show how I harvest some butter crunch lettuce, parsley, basil, and mesclun. It is all growing in the Kratky Hydroponic system. I like to use a fillet knife because I can make accurate and sharp cuts. The more that we harvest out of this setup the more it grows. We are now getting at least 8 salads a week and my goal was 3. However, I need to get the next round of plants ready.

In today's video, I show the plants that came in from EdibleLandscaping.com of Afton, Virginia. These plants were grown in my state and very suitable to our climate. I started with EdibleLandscaping.com in the late fall by planting grapes, kiwi, and a peach tree. They have done very well so far by surviving the winter and growing leaves and flowers in the spring. The service from EdibleLandscaping.com was so great that I ordered a lot more plants in the winter and they arrived on April 18. 50 plants in all!

It took me about 2 hours to put them all in the ground and now we have cranberry, wintergreen, sage, lavender, violet, rosemary, more blueberry, and strawberry plants too. The plan is to turn the yard into something of a mini food forest. I know there are lots of wildlife who will enjoy what I have done but there's enough for all of us. At least I hope so. The food forest aspect is based on growing as many perennial plants as possible. They only need to be planted once and if all goes well they will be productive.
So far the success I have had with asparagus, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries from NourseFarms.com of Whatley, Massachusetts has given my family the confidence to do more and soon we'll need more ideas on how to make the most of our space. First, though we'll watch with wonder how nature takes its course and supports the various backyard biology we have started. The bees will certainly feel lucky to have such a variety of plants to visits. Tony Teolis
