Some welcome visitors


I accidentally disturbed
a family of hedgehogs at the weekend,
a mother and six babies.

We put them all back
and have started feeding them
any advice?


I hope they stay because these guys
are great for eating slugs, caterpillars etc.
and I hope the cats don't find them

Thanks to Nicolas, a friend at work, I set a dozen seed potatoes today - I am not sure of the variety - must check tomorrow.

So Thursday 26 May - the project gets off to a start. A major clearing was done in the corner of the garden to make way for the veggie patch.
