Gardening diaries - friendly discussions on topics from latest bloom to wildlife.

Good morning friendly forums, hope you are well .

Sunny start to the day, sun is streaming in through the windows!

Lovely pics of hedgehog and the very dashingly handsome Bracken.

I'm with you there @shiney .....as long as cuttings are taken with care then I will gladly let people help themselves too.

Dad duties beckoning today ..... housework , washing/ ironing and I feel I will also be planting up his rockery as I spied a tray of newly purchased rockery plants when I call in on him on Wednesday!

Still I don't mind at all......just glad that at 92 he is still alert and interested in his garden and all its wildlife!

Have a Fabbydoo Friday !( making up my own words now!)

 

Im hoping for a fantastic floriferously fabbydoo friday Upsy :rasp:

 

Agree @alp , my dad has loads of crows in his neighbourhood, unruly noisy things .... greedy too they swamp his feeders and bird trays!

 

Oh @Verdun that's brilliant.......quick , where is my pen and paper!

@Kandy I agree. The birdfoods just disappear very quickly. The only way to slow it down is not to use a green or blue feeders. They finish the foods in those much faster. Michaela in Spring watch talked about a research on the colours of the feeders and their popularity. Lo and behold, I found out the results were true the following day! Lovely programme Spring watch! Really enjoyed them, especially the furry stoats and the stunning kingfishers, the latter I really want to see one in real life - on my bucket list!

Now is the time for them to feed their young so I will refill more.

 

That's where I took Ozzy last month (no, no, not to your surgeon )

 

How can I tear myself away from this thread?? I want to feel the fur in the orchid..
Crumbs! What's the make of the camera??? I feel so inadequate!

 

Nice pics every one.Just planted some more cosmos, I've been doing a bit at a time. Clear a bit of ground, then planted them. The ground is still very dry. Had to give them a good watering.

 

Is there a programmes to watch thread on this forum?
