Before the fauna here is a produce update - our five pears, ten beans and first damsons.
The beans were delicious and the damsons needed sugar.
At least something escaped the rabbits - well, the damsons and pears were up a tree and out of reach of our DEAR! bunnies.
Having said that I have seen one go over a four foot stone wall!
Now to the chaffinch which
has just flown into out kitchen/patio doors. It was lying on the paving stunned. I picked it up and placed it under the garden bench in a safer position. After five minutes resting on its head it recovered and flew away.
At least we have not had another fatality.
Then we come to our DARLING! wabbits.
This bold as brass Peter was reclining near the top of the banking enjoying the sun after a feast.
I managed to get a closer picture - see next.
R says she is thinking of a man with a gun but I am a bit softer - after all someone
did once ask if they could name a rabbit sanctuary after me.
So what has been going on in the garden - a bit of mowing and weeding but especially, as it has been so wet, planning.
Shrubs to move to the bankings - this will improve the bankings and free up areas of flowerbed for all those plants I cannot resist buying - let alone new bulbs and cuttings and so on.
The woodland paths, usually covered in wood chippings, have turned into mud - so either more wood chippings - out with the shredder - or buy stone chippings?
Now to preparing lunch - rabbit ragout?
