| | | A Quiet Smile For A Gardener
Just a quick thought.
Living in Scotland; my new house's garden gets eaten by Rabbits, my previous neighbour's garden used to get eaten by deer.
My uncle retired to Crete and his garden gets eaten by goats.
It makes me smile everytime. |

Mine gets excavation holes all over it where the Badgers dig for worms and peanuts (where the squirrels bury them)!!! I did mention it to one of them and he suggested I feed them more chocolate spread and peanut sarnies....or at least put a bit of honey combe out for them from time to time!!

Sheep managed to get in my garden again this morning! I felt so bad trying to usher mum out with two so sweet suckling lambs. I don't think she has forgiven me yet. Though my little puss has made great friends once again....loves licking the lambs ears!

The Badgers dig holes to eat the worms. The squirrels bury peanuts. The foxes enjoy digging up every daffodil bulb I plant. The Badgers excavate my planted out tubs, but I don't see many slugs, or rats.
