Mountain Sage
My clover stays all year round under the snow and under places that are sheltered from the snow. It's very cold hardy and does excellent in a fall sowing over the garden.
Our place is three acres of lawn, ponds and surrounded by woods. We have happy yard-birds too! A lot of wild fruits like blackberry, passion fruit, berries off poke plants, mulberries, elderberries and off thorn bushes and hickory nuts if any get crushed. They spend most their days scratching up leaves and pine needles for bugs and of course the caught off guard lizards, frogs, toads, snails and small snakes. They eat the grass and seed off the grass and weeds. Thank goodness most of the year they can find something to eat. I too will turn over boards for them to grab all the wiggly goodies. Bee I think this is the way God intended birds to eat.
By the way @Beekissed are you the one that did the video on free-ranging Cornish Crosses on BYC? Whoever posted it, I found it so very entertaining. If it was you it would be good on SS. To anyone that thinks meat birds can't free range the video proves they can.
