I'm moving to this rented place in 4 weeks time and as you can clearly see... there's not alot of garden (infact no garden at all really
) just a patio area. So I'm looking for helpful hints to make it more interesting and to draw some wildlife in!
I was there on Monday moving some things over from Skipton and doing a bit of weeding round the gravel area (I have a parking space behind the fence along the wall) and I found a Toad!!!!
It was under a rubbish sack behind the fence. So I removed the rubbish sack and covered him/her back over at an angle with some wood that was lying about as it had made a nice little hollow to sit in
So here's a couple of pics so ya get the jist...
and from the other way...
and this one...
Now on the right hand side over that very long brick wall is a fairly large area with a very large old delapilated barn/building (roof has fallen in etc.) and it's totally overgrown. There is ivy growing along the brick wall and a few buddlea esacapees etc., but it's quite a big plot and methinks there will be plenty of birds nesting, even mammals etc. mooching about - I'd love to entice them over my way!
So because of my situation (it being a rented property) everything I do will only be temporary, but I may well be there a fair while with my son, so I'm sure looking to make it as wildlife friendly as possible whilst I'm there so...
over to you guys for suggestions!
