	Starting Seeds Indoors Start your garden early by sowing seeds in containers indoors. Any container that drains well can be used, but many gardeners prefer peat pots or pellets placed in flats or plastic flats with many sections that are sold specifically for the purpose. Either way you choose to do it, you will gain many valuable advantages from growing your own plants from seeds. You get to control all the growing conditions, which can create plants that are healthier and more robust than those purchased in stores later in the season. Read more...

	Agway's November Flyer Is Now Available! This month's flyer is packed full of specials on wild bird food and feeders! Keep your favorite wild birds coming back all winter long with our large selection of feed and feeders. Click Here

	Choosing a Feeder Following are a variety of feeders to accommodate specific types of birds and their diets. Choosing more than one will help attract more species and avoid feeder congestion. Groundfeeders These simple screen-bottomed trays typically sit several inches off the ground or your deck and help to keep grain or seeds and bird droppings from coming in contact with each other. Some feeders have covers to keep out snow; others may have wire mesh to keep out squirrels and large birds like crows. Ground feeding tables should be placed in open areas at least 10 feet from the nearest tree or shrub to give birds a chance to flee predators. Doves, juncos, sparrows, towhees, goldfinches and cardinals are all likely to visit ground feeders. Avoid using ground feeders if cats are likely to pounce from nearby shrubs. Read more...

	How To Attract The Seven Most Desired Birds Northern Cardinal, Black-Capped Chickadee, Downy Woodpeck, Eastern Bluebird, Finches, Grosebeaks, Indigo Bunting Every year, more and more people are adopting "outdoor pets" in their back yard, whether they are squirrels, rabbits or the most popular outdoor pets of them all -- wild birds. People have loved feeding birds almost since the beginning of time, but for most of those years there wasn't much nutritional science involved. We just put bread crumbs or bird seed in the yard and took what we could get. Luckily for wild birds (and those who love to feed them), times have changed. Read more...

	Fall Lawn Maintenance Overseeding with a cool-season turfgrass variety will enable you to enjoy an attractive lawn well into the fall and early winter months. September is the month for most climates to begin preparing your lawn for fall and winter weather. Start two to three weeks before overseeding by closely inspecting your lawn. If you have a lot of weeds, spray them with a herbicide to eliminate weed competition. After waiting for the herbicide to work on an established lawn, cut the grass as low as possible and aerate or de-thatch the lawn before overseeding.

	Backyard Bird Tips Quality birdseed with minimum "fillers" gives you the most feeding value for your money. Birds often toss aside less expensive "filler" seeds such as milo, wheat, and some millets. The most popular seed for the greatest variety of backyard songbirds are black oil sunflower seeds, available at Central Mass Agway.
