But down to business... at the end of April, my mum and I rescued some plants we wanted to keep from the lawn we were (at the time) about to rake over.
So my job for the day was to replant them!
Easy! Except for the thistles, they were prickly...
First to go in was this magnificent poppy.
Which needs stabilisers whilst it settles into the new soil.
I found a wild pansy I had bought from Potteric Carr last summer which looked... well, dead.
Every plant deserves a second chance!
In went the thistles. Yes I said it, thistles. They are horrible spiky weeds but in our garden, yes they are still horrible and spiky, but we allow ours to grow 5-6 foot tall because then, they produce an abundant of flowers which, when go to seed, the gold finches LOVE!
A few other jobs were done round the garden, including piling the soil up against the nettles' pot...
...and adding a water bowl to the entrance of the 'hog-alo'.
But this is what I did for nature today!
