One joy of having a wildlife garden is only needing to do gardening work every month or so, just to make it habitable for people as well as creatures.

Happy to have seen plenty of little blue butterflies, fuzzy moths, and bumblebees while out there this morning with @robinthewitch

This is why you leave dead, seed bearing plants over winter. We had an unexpected, late snow dump yesterday - 22 cm! But with all the goldenrod still standing since last summer, this migrating American tree sparrow had a lovely meal!

With this in mind I’ve just planted a berberis that will produce flowers for pollinators and berries for the birds, to supplement our native mix hedge that never seems to make much fruit, and have a couple of kinds of sunflower, flax and forget-me-nots as recommended by the RSPB to go in pots next to our infrequent-cut-please-get-wilder “lawn” (now ~40% borage, also good for bugs and bees) on the way from https://realseeds.co.uk/ - an awesome supplier where my preferred human also gets most of the seeds for “our” i.e. mostly their allotment.

In this new blog post I share some ideas and issues I have had to deal with in trying to maintain my garden a safe space for wildlife to live in. It is a work in progress:

Wildlife gardening: an experiment

I have snowdrop, crocus, and snakes head fritillary bulbs arriving today and from another supplier seeds for marsh marigold, ragged robin, water mind, and water forget-me-not for around the pond. I still need to find a tulip to dissect for #Identiplant though.

New blog post, first in a while. This is a little more diary-like than in the past, which may be the way forward as I work more on various garden / allotment projects
