Thank you beautifully written article. Full of useful tips ( never too old to learn) familiar ‘problems’ ( clumsy wood pigeons) and gardening knowledge Loved it , good to see you back 💚
Yes our wood pigeons are huge too. Probably why they’re so terrible at landing ;-) Oh gosh, chipmunks! How do you cope with those? Our squirrels plant hazelnuts and walnuts in ours.
Ah yes, the strawberry mivvi. I wasn’t sure anyone would get that nostalgic throwback. Excellent. That’s made my day. Yes it has been lovely but gosh has it been a scorcher!!!!
Started a slow Saturday morning off beautifully. Incapacitated by a painful back not much but slow pottering for me and a stroll around a tiny newish to us garden, planning what next to buy to fill the spaces in the new borders made from where edge to edge grass grew. Thank you.
Oh no! Sorry to hear about your back. How frustrating! I do love a slow potter though and making a plant shopping list sounds like fun! Enjoy the new garden and make those borders nice and deep!
What a beautiful read for a Saturday morning. Thank you, Elliott.

Thank you! That’s very kind. So glad you enjoyed it. Always appreciated!
I agree about pigeons! In my garden, it’s band-tailed pigeons. They are like flying chickens. Huge!
The critters who dig in my containers and dump out the mulch are not birds, but chipmunks.

So well written! I wish my garden looked so lush!
Thank you so much! That’s very kind.
Strawberry mivvi, that takes me back!
The evening scent has been divine, shame that it comes at such a cost.

Pigeons - surely the daftest animal on the planet. I’m not sure how they survive. Even the cat ignores them as they are just too easy to catch.
Haha! Exactly. Even my soppy do could have caught them. Idiot birds.
Excellent read thank you a Elliott🙏
