What's happening in your garden.

[trigger2 3,137]

With most of us being on complete lockdown I was just wondering if there was much being done in the garden.

I've got a young family so my garden is just lawn to keep it practical for kids.

Still a job or two to do yet though.

Ours is just starting to come to life  I've not done a great amount so far just a little tidying up

Nice to see the goldfinches. I’ve been in my place 2 years and have seen a pair twice last summer out the front. Are they regular visitors to your garden? Nice part of your garden that.

I don't feed the birds in my garden but my neighbours either side do so there's plenty of bird activity in my garden.

Always got the blackbirds here.

Seen my first lot of hedgehog droppings yesterday whilst mowing the lawn, we will be putting some cat food out for them tonight as we do every summer I've lived here.

I've seen loads of bumble bees near me recently. Definitely more than normally see when in garden.

Pointing isn't the best but I'm either rendering it or cladding with timber so not to bothered. Slow progress but probably being a bit anal making sure everything is bang on level etc.

Sunflower hearts all the way mate they're like curry to a pisshead.No uncommon for me to have 8 goldies all over my feeders and more sat in the trees around the outskirts of my garden waiting their turn.
