OUR CUSTOMERS ARE THE BEST!
Here's what they have to say.

Dear Sheila,

Having advertised in Shore Home & Garden Magazine for many years, we don’t always take the time to thank you for the wonderful advertising your publication provides to local small businesses. Over the years we have increased our client base and we believe that is a result of your publication and the broad reach your magazine has in the areas of Talbot County, Queen Anne County and the many communities that pick up the magazine that is displayed in many of the local shops.

The reach throughout the community has allowed our business to grow and many of our telephone calls to our office clearly indicate that they learned about F.A. Hobson Landscaping through the advertising in Shore Home & Garden.

We thank you for always being there for us, following up on suggestions to improve our photos as well as giving us your undivided attention to the details we sometimes miss.

Best regards,

Andy Hobson
President, F.A. Hobson Landscaping Inc.

For an easy, fun way to put those pumpkin seeds to good use, you can feed them to your birds! Separate the seeds from the pulp and let them air dry or place them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven on the lowest setting. Roast until slightly golden. Please do not add salt or seasoning.

Feed the birds-- Give yourself something to do all winter long!
If you love watching birds like we do, you’ll love feeding them too. Feeding the birds that visit your home is one of the most rewarding ways to attract and observe wildlife.

The Pickering Creek Audubon Center birdseed sale begins on October 16th.

Go get some bulbs and get planting! Spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be planted in September or October when the soil temperatures have cooled. Below is a helpful chart indicating which flowers to expect when.

It's almost time to say Good-bye. If you have noticed your Hummingbirds feeding a lot lately, here's why!
Before migration, hummingbirds feed intensely. Scientists call the pre-migration feeding frenzy hyperphagia. The tiny birds spend more time than usual lapping up nectar and eating insects. For birds about to migrate, food means survival.
In this area, you should see this starting late August into September.

Even Horses like flowers!!!

What are the three flowers of the Triple Crown?
“Flowers are symbolic of the three Triple Crown races. The famous blanket of Red Roses always adorns the winner of the Kentucky Derby, Black Eyed Susans for the Preakness and White Carnations for the winner of the Belmont.

Rain is expected for Saturday, but there are still plenty of chances to go pick those Strawberries. Here's a link to some recipes we currently have in the May issue.

What should I do if I see a young bird out of the nest?
• Do not wait near the nest or nestling to see if the parents will return. If you are too close, they will not come back. Watch from a distance if you wish.
• Do not try to feed the bird yourself. An incorrect diet can cause deformities, disease, or even death. Moreover, young birds need to be fed several times every hour, all day long: you will not be able to keep up.
• Do not force-feed them water. Young birds do not drink in nature—they receive their water from the food they eat.
• Remember that the longer you stay with the young bird, the less likely it is to survive.
If the bird is injured, then call a local certified Wildlife Rehabilitator or Wildlife Veterinarian.
