Woodpecker on our birdfeeder

This woodpecker always comes to our garden to feed on the birdfeeders. Recently he has taken to bring his mate. He is very secretive and shy, but we managed to catch him on camera, so we thought we share, enjoy.

Lucky to have sunshine again


Last eco club meeting today before the summer holidays and we could harvest a lot of peas.
We had some plants to propagate and there was weeding to be done (again).....



We were lucky to see tadpoles in all stages of development:


And we topped up the log pile to create an even nicer habitat for wildlife and to give the emerging froglets (soon hopefully) a nice shady spot to hide away.

Sunshine and Summer Flowers (and the First Peas)

We were so lucky today with the sun burning down, so we all could get out to do some serious planting and got all the sweet peas and herbs in.



The community garden group gave us some plants they had left over and we planted them at the little tadpole puddle (which also has a little water snail inside). Looks very pretty and colourful. Thank you!



The first peas were ready to harvest today and some of us could have a really yummy snack.
