Garden Snap Shots!

I was fed up of the sunflower hearts being dropped all over the floor so I came up with an idea from Granpa’s Yorkshire discount store(my brain), thanks Grandpa👍🏻. I took a plant water dish drilled holes & hung it up, now the Bods can see the fat ones without tossing em over their shoulder-jobs a gud un. My father was not a maker of things Grandpa was-& then some👍🏻😊

Noticed primroses out in the ditch and churchyard yesterday. Ditch was carpeted with them. Took my back to childhood escapades of straddling the ditches for ages picking and bunching them for the Mothers Day service.

Our squirrels would just tip the dish up🤨They regularly take tops off feed tubes and empty out the whole tube😂 

PS-the repurposed water dish stops the Starlings from hoovering up the sun hearts as they’re too heavy to get a purchase when they attempt a landing👍🏻

We are inundated with Jackdaws at the moment, so might work with them as well. 👍

We have Magpies mainly, the Rooks & Crows give the garden a wide berth until there are songbird chicks in the nests then they’re stealing them☹️. The Dogs don’t bother the songbirds/don’t frighten them but they shoot down the garden when magpies start cackling👍🏻

Lots of spring flowers in the garden at the moment, here are a couple of photos of the Witch hazel & Daphne that are looking good, the Daphne is also smelling real good too 

We've never managed to keep a Daphne going, I love the scent too.  (Iike the smell of Witch Hazel as well!)

Last night the Snow Moon, tonight the Blood Moon🙂-

I think we're all enjoying the beautiful moon to
