Building a Backyard Habitat: Birdhouse Plans



The days are turning colder and the yard work has pretty much come to an end. It will soon be time to start thinking about what to plant in the spring and begin planning for next years gardens. While you are doing your planning, why not think about building a backyard habitat and consider adding some birdhouses to attract more birds!


Birds will help keep a balance of nature in your yard. Adding some birdhouses for them will help attract even more which can be very beneficial to you garden. The birds will eat insects that may damage or destroy your plants and also help clean old seeds off the withered plants in the fall.  Just remember to use netting or row covers in the spring when you plant so the birds don't eat your seed!



I have added some birdhouse plans to the Garden Project Plans page on my website.
Feel free to download them and build some for yourself!

Baby Robins





Every year the robins build their nests in the wisteria around our yard. The baby robins have hatched and are growing quickly. While sitting in the back yard we watch the mother flying back and forth bringing food for her babies.
