We visited the garden yesterday to get veggies for our family meal in the evening.
It seems we have had some large visitors. They had trampled through the fence by the gate. Seeing as the ground was soft with all the rain there were huge holes all over the beds and the grass.
This is the wild flower area.
Along the paths.
Even in the sedum patches in the raised bed.
I thought it was badgers til I saw this evidence.
Are these the culprits?
The moles have been busy.
Collecting just a few sprouts.
The cob hut is soft to the touch but seems to be withstanding the onslaught of the wet weather.
A grey bleak day.....
....but a touch of spring to cheer us all up.
Gardening Christmas presents are always most welcome.
Here is a pile of huge flowerpots from my brother, Jamie.
A beautiful Haws watering can from Steve. We had our last one for over 25 years
but it has just developed a hole in the bottom.
Two fleecy covers for those late frosts.
There is a tradition in our family of giving Advent presents in the 24 days leading up to Christmas Day.
This year my brother gave us one packet of seeds for each day. What a booty!
