It'll look beautiful. You didn't have to got to all that effort though, to beat me at wildlife spotting.

. But it will hopefully help, I hadn’t actually considered that .

You really have to do some before and after photos to remind us all of what can be done. I do like Bob's method of gardening.

Here’s a couple of before photos.
This one is very close to a year ago 8th March 2025. As you can see on the left hand side. Lots of grass. [attachment=8699]
Later in the summer last year. Again lots of grass and not many flowers [attachment=8700]
Today when I’d finished digging out the last few bits and picking the biggest of the stones out and giving it another rake over . [attachment=8701]
But before making a token gesture of a log and stone piles and scattering 520 seed balls.
So as it stands we have 2 apple trees & 1 plum, a lot of clumps of ox-eye daisies, a good number of foxgloves, a small amount of knapweed, yarrow, Selfheal and a few crocus. Hopefully the ragged robin and orchids I transplanted last year will reappear.
I have a few more seeds to add over the coming days. But apart from that. It’s a case of watch this space (with fingers crossed).
