Talkback: Collecting fallen leaves

left some small ones on for the birds, and then when they are eaten I can cut up some of the stored ones. Blackbirds, fieldfares, thrushes and maybe the odd redwing love them. I've often thought of collecting leaves from the road side as we get huge by James Bond

Talkback: Adopting hens

Thankyou

have had 140% of our average rainfall and our July sunshine has amounted to 4 hours. My gardening hours and hours have been reduced to minutes! My strawberries are still green. I have given over the redcurrants to the birds as this has been a far more by Sue Higham

Talkback: Wet weather and wildlife

, and as we're not too troubled by slug and snail damage (so far - fingers crossed) I presume they're responsible for helping us out with these. We get lots of birds in the garden - goldfinches, greenfinches, dunnocks, various tits, robins, chaffinches by oldchippy

hi all, got some bugs i'm stuck with.
