Now that I've moved to the country I have lots more wildlife visiting my garden - they're all welcome
I'm happy to cover my veg to keep them safe from rabbits and to cover fruit when I need to to encourage the birds to leave me a share. I have my pots of herbs standing on tables so they're above nibbling height.
The previous residents of the house parked a caravan and truck on the front garden so it was a combination of paving and gravel. I've removed a lot of gravel and added some top soil to create a couple of beds. One of them will be for my raspberries, the other is undecided. But I'm tempted to plant one up with something colourful for the winter. I don't normally do bedding plants and I don't want to waste money planting something that the rabbits will destroy. Is there anything cheap & cheerful that they don't eat? I like pansies but I suspect they taste very nice.
