Lazy Fall Clean-Up . . . Leave It For The Birds!
I didn't get around to deadheading or cutting back one of my perennial beds this fall. I have noticed a lot of birds hanging around in there . . . in the now-dried-out seed heads of the echinacea, agastache, larkspur, lavender, jupiter's beard and veronica. They also seem to enjoy gathering in the butterfly bush nearby. So I have decided to leave it all for the spring - let the birds have it as a source of food and shelter this winter.

That is really a good idea. I was thinking of clearing up my back yard soon too. Will leave the plants for the birds for now.
