We had raspberries and red currants and found it pretty great the birds were coming into the yard and feeding their fledglings from the lower branches as they hopped around. I added more currents, blue berries, honey berries and a supposedly hardy fig, so far the fig isn’t hardy.
This winter was so aggressive with storms I realized I need to plant some evergreens so the birds have more natural sources of shelter. Not that I mind them on the deck but there was at some points 40+ taking shelter on our small covered porch and they really were not protected from the wind just the wet so I will have to include that. It’s nice to be in the city yet still have lots of birds and bunnies making themselves at home.
And like you said Dianne water is so important.
Nice to hear what all of you are doing too.
Can you grow Juniper for the berries?
