Welcome to our blog. It will follow the development of our garden from quagmire, after completion of our self-build, to a garden that reflects our eco-friendly principles. We are wanting to create a garden that meets our needs as a family but is also a wildlife friendly zone. Well that's what we are hoping, time will tell if we are successful.

Pond life


 Finally the sun has been shining in our garden, and the sunflowers in the vegetable patch are stunning.









The wild flower bed is inundated with colour, its full of cornflowers and poppies









Surprisingly, there are some flowers that the dog hasn't eaten.
Rosie met Chip and was very interested in his bone. No chance, Rosie! The two of them managed to dig a large hole in Chip's garden. Chip has a very patient owner...






The pond is also full of life, although it is still green, it doesn't seem to put the dragon flies, water boatmen and pondskaters off. There is also a frog or two who  I see late at night when I shut up the chickens.








There is also a more common spotted Spaniel who thinks no one will know where she's been. It's a good thing you can't smell her.

She still likes the chickens although she barks at them a lot because Big Bird pecked at her (it was well deserved).

To be continued....
