The property my house sits on slopes from front to back. There were terraces made from railroad ties and over 30 they rotted.
I had to have the railroad ties dug out and then replaced with stone. It was a major job. Now I will be able to plant on those terraces.
Next spring I am going to plant all the best habitat plants for hummingbirds and have a solar fountain for them. The goal is to have a great habitat for them and use the feeders as extra food.
When I first see them in the Spring it is always a good sign. Like you I do believe that offspring return to where they were born just like salmon.
