So, I guess it's introduction time! As suggested by the title/description, this little blog is intended to be the home of anything and everything related to our little garden. For those of you who aren't familiar with our garden, it's small - in fact I'd go as far as to say it's tiny. But what it lacks in size, it most definitely more than makes up for in character!
I'd describe it as a semi-wild environment, being full of wild flowers that are pretty much left to their own devices, combined with some purposefully planted odds and ends. There's a small pond - currently full of wiggling tadpoles, a couple of logpiles - from which all manner of goodies are sprouting, a newly-resurrected bird table - frequented predominantly by house sparrows, robins and jackdaws, and nooks and crannies galore. Oh, and on the kitchen roof is our veggie growing area, which doubles as a herring gull stomping ground.
The Small Person and I hope to make regular visits to our little garden, where we will report on our green-fingered activities, observe our avian visitors, seek out the smaller (often more multi-legged) residents, and generally have a good old potter about. And, given the Small Person's compulsion to photograph everything in sight, we hope to decorate our ramblings with lots of pretty pictures.
Well, the sun is trying to come out, so what better time to commence activities. First job is to hang up the new peanut feeder, second job is to see if our newly-sown seeds are in need of some refreshment. Conveniently, it rained all day yesterday, which means that most of the garden should be suitably irrigated; however, not so the hundreds of pots in my home-made propagators. If the sun is successful in its mission, we might even sow some more seeds! Now, I wonder if the camera batteries are sufficiently recharged...
