Thanks for your list of good stuff to do - it helps fill that hungry gardener gap when the wait for spring seems eternal.

But I'm a little worried about your bird suggestion - isn't bacon grease too salty? I would think peanut butter is a little better, but that has some extra sodium also. Just wondering.

Hi CompostR - That's a great question. I've not seen anything about bacon grease being bad for birds due to salt, but I'll look around the Web to see if that's addressed anywhere. For myself, I only cook reduced salt bacon and I do mix it with pb when making my suet, but others may not.
