Lovely photos - and I share your love of winter aconite. Mine are spreading quite nicely - and seem, like snowdrops to shrug off the ++++ snow...
Hi Dave. I too have never seen anything like that before. I can not think of one British bird or indeed mammal that would build such a structure....
For me - its ordinary paper envelopes - or with large seed heads, paper bags. Helps the seed finish drying, and keep dry , so no need for silica...
http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562 Me, I think I'll stay home:)
From Bonnie's reactions at dusk I am certain you are right Marley. However, you should just see the mess on my flowers and plants from the dust...
Marley - I'm with you on that. If ever I get a lorra money - I'd like to set up an infra red camara and see just what is going on. With the...
Wow - cute they certainly are - lucky you both to have them, spot them and photo them. Congratulations.
Well I am a bit of a night bird - so as longs as its before 1.0 I may well be still up. Bonnie may not hear too good, but his sense of smell is...

Daisybelle - at Waterperrie they use twigs laid high across the crowns of things like delphs and etc. Looks most unnatural in early spring but by...
In my mind - I agree with Roders, underplanting just detracts from the roses and they are hungry feeders - just a mulch to set them off - but I am...
So do I. My father grew fuchsia magenallica, which he brought back from Ireland (I hope I got the spelling right). I tried to get it - but could...
Wonderful - I hope that I manage to get a picture soon. Last night the dog detected his smell again from the open patio door, and my neice and I...
Mmmm, I guess I'm a lucky rose grower then. Each spring as new shoots and buds appear - the greenfly appear, and coat both - and I look forward to...
<'Propagation illegal without a licence'> I read as propagation for sale/ profit. I have no problem with propogating for personal use (except for...
Mmm, the most unobtrusive support I've seen is the use of twiggy hazel for the plants to grow through - but not for the big ones like tree...
