Shaudys 1 c sage leaves 1 c lovage leaves 1/2 c pumpkin seeds 1/2 c squash seeds 1 c Indian corn 2 c goldenrod 1/2 c sunflower seed 1 c evening primrose pods 2 c basil leaves and flowers 2 c hickory nuts 2 c acorns This large quantity makes a colorful, crisp, and fresh-scented mixture that is decorative in open, glass containers for the holidays. After the festivities, it can be stored for later use as winter bird feed. The leaves will blow away, and the remaining nuts and seeds are attractive to foraging birds.
