What are we doing in the garden 2025

Not just tulip bulbs and bird food . This is interesting:

That's a fascinating article @Plantminded, thanks.

 

Indeed, though personally I’m not about to rush out and buy them a supply of dried banana chips. The pesky wotsits need no encouragement here and my grass looks like an 18-hole putting green with all their excavations.

 

I’ve only ever seen one here, using the fence at the back as a route to my neighbour’s garden but never actually in my garden. I don’t have bird feeders though, the lawn, trees and shrubs provide food for the birds at no cost for me .

 

One! I have many visits daily, often in gangs of 3 or 4 together, even though I have no food for them … unless you count my fatsia leaves! Their favourite pastime seems to be leaping through the air between the oak, a cherry tree, and a pine.

I was going to say the same but you beat me to it!!
Managed to do a bit in the garden today but finding it hard to get going with all this dull weather.

 

Potted up 18 lilly bulbs, 3 in each.

 

I spent an hour pruning, that was enough for me, its was downright cold and damp, getting motivated is not easy if the alternative is to go and sit in the warm.

 

I cleared dead leaves from iris (sibirica I think) and noticed new shoots. Had to prune roses because new growth was happening all along the stems. All a bit early!
