Hi there again, it’s now our 3rd post for you!
This week has allowed us to appreciate the rocky road of “ups and downs” to Wildlife Gardening. As you already know, we planted a great shrub for our wildlife – the Pyracantha. We loved our new addition, unfortunately so did our furry friends the rabbits! Their tell-tale tracks and signs allowed us to conclude they enjoyed nibbling away at our newly planted beauty's. We do of course appreciate this happens, and have now learned of their canny ways.
The garden itself is really coming to life now as spring has officially commenced, and the first views of our beautiful iris flowers are showing. We are sure with our continued nurturing you will really fall head over heels with the garden as we have.
Gentle weeding and tidying of the beds, will help prevent any struggle for our up and coming flowers including daffodils and crocuses. The pond is also housing toads too, which will hopefully bring more life and activity to the habitat!
What a busy and exciting period......spring is here!
Please do get in touch with anything you think we could improve our garden with , and any comments you may have.
Till our next update
