February is the perfect month to begin your seed search. Why February? Right now, companies have their entire catalog of seeds in stock. As the winter goes by, they usually do not restock their inventories for the current year.
Years ago, every major seed company mailed seed catalogs to your door right after the holidays. This has been replaced by the ease of online shopping for your seeds. Nowadays, we sit by the fireside with a mug of hot chocolate and browse online catalogs on our computer, cell phone, or iPad. Then, we can immediately order our seed selections. What can be easier!?

This is the toughest time of the year for backyard birds. Natural food supplies are low and continue to become sparser. In addition, food supplies may be covered in a heavy blanket of snow. To help them get through the remainder of the winter months, homeowners and birdwatchers put up a bird feeder or two to help our fine feathered friends survive until spring arrives.
Each species of bird has certain seed preferences. If you have lots of different birds, a mixed variety of seeds works well. For others, consult our bird seed feeder chart to ensure your favorite birds are well-fed.
