Something to Crow About! Build a Crow Frame, Crowbread, and fun books!

I was reading a magazine on my front porch daybed and found an article by one of my favorite authors. 

I love to collect magazine from the thrift store and friends of the Library bookstore where they sell cheap and magazines are so expensive to purchase these days. The article are timeless and son;t matter that they are from the past days. This particular magazine is about gardening , one of my favorite reads, "A Country Living, Gardner November /December 2000, so it is 12 years old. Opps, 13 years old almost. Forgot about the new year already! 

This article is about "Crows" and we have lots of them here in the North Carolina woods I live in the Nantahala Forest and. I hear them every morning as they fly among the trees around us.  The author is "Sharon Lovejoy" and she writes about children's gardening which is great for me as I am just learning gardening and collecting the native plants around me. Child-like articles suit me just fine!  I adore the fairies, gnomes, and hobbit like habitats and love to create them in my moss gardens.

Here is the article I read, I scanned in for you about " Something to Crow About"

The Crow article has a recipe for crow cornbread and how to build a frame around your garden to keep out the crows but they are helpful in eating many grubs but unhelpful in adding our worms to their diet also. I do see them in the cornfields that have been cut but not removed in the farms all around us. 

 The book listed at the end of the article is on my wishlist at Amazon " Roots, Shoots, Buckets, and Boots" 

and I have the following book " Sunflower Houses" 

I checked out another book from her at the Library one day and liked it so much I purchased it from Amazon and I love it 

Sunflower Houses 

 Maybe you would enjoy them also!
