Birds and other wildlife are beginning to emerge. There are a variety of wildlife to be seen. We have seen chickadees, robins, and even a redtail hawk. There are also plovers at the beach and a scarlett tanager in Chatham. We've heard the call for owls. Despite wild life in the area, birds and flowers are the first signs that spring has arrived.
The wildlife of the area will visit the newly-planted area once the blooming season ends. Their evolutionary behaviors will make the planting experience easier. The mama bird can take over the hanging pot and stop you from watering it. However, she will keep the baby ducks safe by driving away predators. Keep an eye out to avoid injuring wildlife or causing harm to them while you are planting wildflowers.
Spring is home to many birds. Washington has many birds including ladybugs and eiders. In the winter, the snowy owls also protect the ducks. In spring, the Snowy Owl will drive all predators away from its nesting area. These two species of animals share the same habitat. Both will lay their eggs at the same location, while the female will have one on the ground.
Unlike other birds, hummingbirds prefer areas where they can see blossoming trees. You'll enjoy learning all about the birds in your yard, whether you're a birdwatcher and/or a nature lover. While the snowy winter days may be the only time to watch redbirds in Washington, there's still plenty to look forward to this month. Ladybugs will be attracted to the beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains.
FAQ
What is a planting plan?
A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal is to maximize growth while minimizing stress for the plant. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include carrots and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.
What size space is required for a vegetable garden?
The rule of thumb is to use 1/2 pound seed per square foot. Therefore, 100 pounds of seeds is required for a surface of 10 feet x 10 feet (3 m x 3 m).
What should I do the first time you want to start a vegetable garden?
When beginning a garden, the first thing to do is to prepare the soil. This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, plant seeds or seedlings into prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.

You're not wrong. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.
