In The Beginning...

I think I'm about to start an adventure, so I thought I'd share... hope you enjoy the journey.

Once, a few years ago,this was CrystalWitch's garden...

 After a some much needed work on the house and the fences, it looks like this:

I know I agreed to it, but doesn't it look so sad?

However, the man in my life is a gardener and when he saw it, his eyes lit up. There was much muttering of the words 'blank canvass', 'good soil', and 'wildlife garden'! I've seen his place - if anyone can do it, he can, but this is a tiny urban space, and I haven't seen birds in it for years. 


We start armed with a copy of "Wild Life Gardening: A Practical Handbook" by Fran Hill, which is quite an old publication, but you can probably find it on Amazon, eBay or AbeBooks with a little digging. Updates will happen as the work happens... The first target is some planting and trying to get the birds back... 

One day I want to see and hear a robin singing - we might just manage it!
