REQUIRES DAILY: Seeds—Offer sunflower seeds, whole oats, wheat, melon seeds, corn and seed mixes prepared for any of the larger birds; hamster mix may be used. Fruits—All kinds, especially melons, in season; apples and oranges in winter; cultivated mushrooms. Green food—Must be varied; offer young growth or buds of plants, trees, and shrubs; blossoms of clover and alfalfa; green weed seeds; carrot tops and young carrots; lettuce and young weed growth. Water—Must be fresh, clean, always available; use water bottle.

Perennial plants live from year to year and usually have underground organs—stems or roots—which enable them to survive through the winter
Weed control begins with winter digging prior to growing the first crops. Cut down any woody perennials and dig out all the roots. Double-dig the whole of the garden in the first instance and remove all perennial weed roots and rhizomes. Burn or dispose of them all and never use them for compost-making.
On The Other Hand See That The Weed Seed:Annuals are plants that complete their life-cycle within a single growing season, and they are often able to undergo more than one life-cycle in a season. Annuals are also characterized by the production of large numbers of seeds so that the weed seed population in the soil is constantly replenished and the weeds keep reappearing.When winter digging, skim off annual weeds and dig them into the bottom of each trench along with organic manure or garden compost. Subsequent cultivations should kill the youn weed seedlings that emerge.
