    @shiney You are definitely my sort of gardener , i plan things each day and never stick to it but generally do one thing i intended but the rest of the day the garden influences me to change tack. Good to see you have a good relationship with the robins , maybe trying to tell you to get a move on before the cold weather kicks in !

      He was definitely doing that. :thumbsup:

      We usually have at least seven robins' nest in the garden each year but I only spotted six this year. They're normally with me when I'm digging and each robin family have their own fairly distinct jurisdiction. The only neutral area is around the bird feeders.

      Our resident pheasant ignores all the other birds under the feeders but chases the squirrels away. They only run about 2ft and then stop :heehee:

      As rain/frost is forecast for this week I decided to start digging out the soil behind the dodgy sleeper wall while I had the chance, the time and the energy! Also dug up yards and yards of white bindweed roots but there's no hope of getting it all out as I've small shrubs I don't want to disturb. I did dig up and move a prostrate rosemary which was definitely in the way.

      The chappie who's going to come and relay the sleepers and do a small flight of steps for me so I can safely access the top of the sleeper bed, is sunning himself in Malaga (22c) right now but left me instructions to do what preparation work I can whilst he's away.
