So Yorkshire has officially been snowed on, the race to get all the plants undercover is on before it reaches our neck of the woods.
At the moment there's an icy rain falling, coupled with an idle wind....best look out my thermals!
I'll go round and check out the cold greenhouses we'll be over-wintering stuff in today.....if I can drag myself away from the central heating.

I HAVE to make the effort to get outside and tidy up today. Luckily you can be a bit lazy with a wildlife garden but Lily the dog keeps eating the weeds that are growing against the fence on the driveway (I must remember to take a pic of them and post for an ID on wab!)

I'm a terrible blogger but I'm passionate about our wildlife on this little island.
I'm Aitch to my friends, some-time artist (wildlife naturally), avid gardener, border terrier owner and birder.
I'm starting a wildlife gardening business because I was fed up with travelling from garden-centre to garden centre, trying to find the plants I needed; not to mention the prices they charge!
Since I started gardening for wildlife I've been astonished at what visits. Yesterday I was...
