Hi CB, good to see you back. Please make sure that hubby listens to what you say.

I mapped out a wild area last summer and told the guy who helps in our garden that I did not want that bit mowed. Of course, Other Half (who I had also told, but who does not listen to a word I say), decided in the middle of summer that it looked untidy and told our guy to mow it I did not find out until after the event

This year, woe betide anyone who mows my wild area!

Jenny

Re: Wildlife Gardening info

Nice little cd with the magazine more than makes up for the disapointing wildlife section. I was hoping for a lot more from them.

The disc contains 180+ items in alphabetical order as well as little tips such as leave a rotting log for butterfly laying or what plants to naturalise in your lawn. Very intersting.
