Terry wrote: Those born under the sign of the birdfeeder are traditional gardeners, favoring old-fashioned plants such as pansies, English tea roses, hollyhocks, and Irises. These garden maintstays remind you of happy childhood memories. Ivy-covered topiaries are also a favorite of those born this month, as well as other vining and twining plants. Inside your home are often found ferns and rubber plants, while willows, hemlocks, pines, elm and poplar are among your favorite outdoor trees.
