Pity really ‘cos it could trample on the slugs and snails that have grown fat on my seedlings. My attempt at creating a “Remembrance” garden with a large “V” of red poppies and meadow flowers elsewhere has so far produced just one yellow flower and a nice dainty pink one.
Still it is early days yet, although four weeks of rain haven’t helped and I may yet get a colourful display with bees a-buzzing, butterflies a-fluttering and boids a-choipping above. I haven’t seen it for a few weeks now but a grey squirrel seems to think that it owns mine and neighbours gardens. At least having battled the slugs and snails and won, I think, my Lupins, Hollyhocks and Foxgloves now have a chance.

I think the problem is that your squirrel is lonely ... he needs friends ... now I just happen to have 30 or 40 of the little devils that would just love a vacation over the pond ... and for the night time, a family of raccoons ... just say the word and they are yours
