A lovely splash of vivid pink🌸

Cav and I have been busy growing lots of plants this year. I have so many of them - wetland edge plants grown from seed, houseplants, wildflowers, succulents and also this really pretty Dianthus Carthusianorum. I saw this at the National Trust gravel garden at Beningborough Hall and loved it.

I grew these from seed to add a lovely splash of vivid colour amongst the low grasses in the gravel garden. They had a bit of a slow start in the Summer heat but have thrived since Autumn and are now starting to flower.

The only thing is - everything is growing so well and so big in the gravel garden that I don't think there's space for them!

I do have a little plant stall outside and plenty more plants behind the gates. I think I may need to expand next year!

What do you think of the colour of this little Dianthus?

Busy making some reindeer and have two available.

These are very unique and entirely hand sculpted. I love to think they are almost alive with their sparkly eyes and nose.

What is your favourite festive creature - reindeer, penguin or something else. OOOO, maybe I should try a snowman!

Hey everyone, don't mean to gloat, but we are over the moon to have attracted a stoat!

Oh wow! It’s not just a ‘stoatitat’ - this large pile of logs is also a ‘hogitat’!

Build it and they will come 🦔❤️🦔

A cute little bird has just flown off to its new home. Love his sparkling eyes! Not creating as much at the moment but I do hope those days return ❤️

This little hoglet is 350g. He's only being seen at night and I am leaving plenty of food and water out.

It isn't time to be worrying yet about small hedgehogs found at night and whether they will survive Winter.

I will, however, be monitoring him.

The entrance to the feeding station is a good gauge of size. The larger adults that are visiting just touch the sides so you can see that he is a lot smaller.

It is also walking quite 'high' on its legs, which can be a sign of issues.

This little one was a lovely round shape when I weighed and checked it so nothing to be concerned about but definitely worth monitoring. It is great news that we have had hoglets here this year!

I am running a hibernation special course online on the evening of 4 November which will give tips for monitoring hedgehogs, helping them during this critical period and when they might be in need of rescue as the weather gets colder.

For now though, leave out plenty of food and water to help them get up to weight.

Oh yes, he does do a p**p in the box LOL!

Message me for more info about the hibernation course....

Stoat on the 'stoatitat' built to try and attract a stoat 🎉

It's a lovely pile of old logs (we try to avoid removing any dead material from site). There are plenty of hidey holes under here.

The stoat uses the ditch to travel between the North and South garden, which is exactly what the otter did and exactly why we wanted to open up the garden and remove the mesh fence that was keeping wildlife out!

They are super fast so hard to capture on film. You know it is a stoat because its tail isn't fully deep brown, it's half pale brown with a slightly fluffy dark brown tip.

Watch right to the end - you see it again!
