IN OUR GARDEN 2023

All the Spring bulbs are in now and a top dressing of compost applied. There's a forlorn single pink rose in bloom at the moment which has survived the wind and rain accompanied by an early snowdrop.

I've swept the needles up today, I was hoping to do an hour in the garden, but it's too cold and I still have a cold!!!! It looks lovely and sunny here, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have snow.
 
A surprise this morning when I filled the feeders. We had a visit from a female Blackbird, and a Thrush. Neither of which would stay still for a decent picture, but did manage this quick one of said Thrush.



Robin was more obliging.



But not fully. :laughing:



The usual suspects were fine.

I'm hopeless with mushrooms. Anybody know what these are in my arboretum ...

The white mushrooms look edible but I am too much of a wuss to risk cooking them! The orange variety certainly look like they would end up with a visit to A&E!

If, like me, you are concerned about the declining number of insects in the garden, then I suggest creating a different kind of fence. I pulled out a couple of rotten panels, built a wood frame, and filled it with log cuttings. As I was building it a ladybird moved in for the winter. I was thrilled.
