Talkback: Robins
for it to be serious. Not doubt this acceptance of each other will disappear when breeding time approaches! It is snowing today where I live, (N.E.Scotland) so the garden has been full of hungry birds all day, and all types, even had the greater spotted woodpecker by kathryn.brock

Potted ponds in Thailand
think they'd be able to fly out. They're not much deeper than my pond, and I've seen birds fly out of that easily enough. @happymarion - yes but it's soon faded with all this snow! Great idea re sunken buckets. Kate Great idea, I have an old tin bath by Kate Bradbury

Mystery 'Tree'
with metres of snow so the blossom is a little late in coming out. And, yes, it produces fruit: small bright scarlet cornels, oval in shape, that are very tart if eaten unripe. You have to wait for the cornels to turn almost dark red before they are ready by BrendaScott53

it will not flower in its first year-takes a while to settle down and makes root rather than flower but they are really tough plants, survive outdoors, through frost and snow and still return. Have two just coming into flower now Thank you sotongeoff. They have by Starflower

perennial plug plants
, Not sure if i will put them in the greenhouse or tuck them in a corner of the gardenwhere they will be clear from any frost or snow. Still trying to find room in the garden for the lavenders i got last year, think i might have to dig up a bit more by melanie walker

Ants in the lawn
nest under my snow-on-the-mountain which I am going to destroy this week I hope. I agree its a right mess when mowed I must admit I tend to use boiling water to remove the nests as it doesn't harm the grass and gets rid of the problem. I had two nests by celia2
