With the warm weather and then a bit of 'dampness', my wildlife garden is flourishing with its mix of native and naturalised plants. I collect seed in the autumn which I either spread around or grow as seedlings and plant out. This helps maintain a thick cover of vegetation to stop the soil drying out and obviously to attract lots of different insects and hence also birds - see my Merlin list from yesterday!!.
Two aerial shots show how much more vegetation we now have compared with when we moved 'up the road' in 2000 and I started the work of creating as many habitats in one garden as I could - Meadow, Woodland, Sandy 'Mediterranean, Hedgerow etc
