Plans for next year?

[Susie]

Do any of you have plans for your garden for next year? Any wildlife friendly schemes in the pipeline or particular plants you are planning to grow?

I would like to make a tiny little 'area' for the Newts that hide under our flowerpots A little pond maybe, with some nice grass and plants for them to hide in.

I aim to plant a large area full of Sunflowers & teasels so I can photograph Finches etc.. feeding on them over next Winter.

I think you should splash out and buy two!

I'd quite like to build a larger wood pile, one that the small frogs can hide in and maybe even hunt in I'll have to position it so that it can rot down (nowhere too dry).

A wood pile is the one thing that "him indoors" really objects to, so it will have to be very neat and discrete

my wood pile is at the back of my flower bed next to the fence out of sight. he will never know its there while he at work one day it could just happen to appear.

My wood pile is only small, it covers an area of concrete that houses a man hole cover. It has bushes on a couple of sides so it isn't noticeable and occasionally gets added too which no one seems to notice

oitsnik: have you got room for a window box?

[Hedge Witch]

Ladies, I like your thinking. Yes, it could just happen

Make your wood pile drop 20 pounds and get its hair done, no man will ever notice that.
