Bird Seed Garden

I may be the only one that didn't know this... but did you know that bird seed that falls from a bird feeder will grow??? I had no idea until this summer... 

My great friend Pam Ray bought me a bird feeder for my 30th birthday... I was hesitant to put it out because I thought only old people had bird feeders.... but... it was a gift... it was a really nice feeder...I was getting older.... so out it went...

When Matt and I returned home from the road trip I had the most beautiful patch of green grass growing right in the middle of the flower bed... I yanked it all up, and with in just a few days more was there....

Each week, I kept pulling and pulling.... I thought I got most everything.... that was until this past week when I noticed a really tall stalk like thing growing out of the middle of my day lilies.... Upon closer inspection I noticed what it was....

CORN!!!!!!! I had corn growing in my flower bed... Apparently the corn that was mixed in the bird seed fell on fertile soil.. or mulch and up it came... I have pulled 2 stalks this week... If another one comes up I am gonna let it grow... Maybe Ill get an ear out of the deal...

Regardless.. next time you will get a pic of it... sorry I pulled it before I snapped a pic.

Ahhh the fun of birdseed weeds or plants LOL. I don't think you're ever to young to watch birds come to feed. It's so relaxing and calming.
