The beginnings of a wildlife friendly garden

Yesterday was another lovely hot day, too good to be inside but too hot for the OH unless he was in full shade with a cooling breeze. Last year I tucked the bench in the shade of the oak tree, beside the Ha-ha where it catches the breeze, he was happy.



Last year I planted up half a shade bed which was a success,



So this year I decided to extend it (the bench is on the unplanted half) which meant finding a new home for the bench. The only other place where it would be in shade and catch the breeze would be under the Hazel tree but on the grass. I don’t like unnecessary work so the thought of moving the bench every time I mowed was not appealing. Tucked away by the shed were a dozen small slabs, a small pile of bricks, another of half bricks and some cobbles. With a little giggery-pokery and some in-filling with cobbles there was enough to make an area, which didn’t require mowing, for the bench.





All that is required now is some digging and cement. Job done, OH happy.

Oh what a clever, resourceful girl you are WF. ;D...Yes Grindle, we need a full report ;D

I started digging it out yesterday, it seems to be the exact spot where someone buried half a house ;D

isn't that always the way, I wanted to put a post in the other day right where there was a concrete block

The view it better in this place than it was before.



I've got some wicked rubbish removal tools, I have not found anything buried in the garden which as beaten me yet. I can always bring them over.

;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm sorry I missed seeing that.

That looks really nice Sue, you are clever ;D ;D
