I found a little #SpiderWeb in the corner of my #RainGarden #Forage pile!
I wonder who lives here?

123 followers · 1306 posts · Server mastodon.lolExpect everything in your garden, or a green space you have access to, to be eaten. That’s the ultimate goal - to provide sustenance to whichever creatures are visiting you because in nature nothing is wasted and nothing is unnecessary. Whether you’re growing crops for yourself or more likely plants to fill up a green space, everything has a purpose.

123 followers · 1306 posts · Server mastodon.lolI’ll try to cover the main areas I come into contact with here in the UK: #pollinators (specifically #bees), #litterPicking and #waterways, #waterConservation and #gardeningForWildlife. This advice is intended for people who don’t know where to start or feel overwhelmed with decisions when it comes to helping their local environment; so I’ll put links to each thread into a new toot to make them easier to find once I’m done.

Huh, apparently people around here are interested in #GardeningForWildlife 🌻
The #NationalWildlifeFoundation has a great program to help you out. You don't have to join to access their online #Gardening resources & guidelines (it's $25 to formally particiapte).
You just need to provide food, water, cover, and places to raise young while using #SustainablePractices
I have two tiny #RainGardens on a lot under 125 sq.ft. #pollinators #UrbanWildlife

Today in #Gardening . . .
Need some #Wildlife advice
Startled a mole on lawn on my way to compost (edge of yard at dusk) 2 hours later a very confused mole entered kitchen via baseboard heater.
Should i be worried about the health of mole?
Are there going to be 100s more trying to move in?
Can i ignore it & hope it stays out of house?

This Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle) was certainly appreciated by the bee.
I rather love it too - tiny flowers with a lovely scent that brighten any winter day.

The calendula has always been a great one over winter (in a sheltered spot), but when this nasturtium flower has been there for 3 days now and still looking fresh and perky.

I'll be winter sowing plenty of native perennial seeds, hoping to get more Lance-Leaved Coreopsis/ #Tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata). Picture from June.
I like #coreopsis because it blooms for a long time, it's drought-tolerant, and its nectar attracts #butterflies and #bees.
The only downfall: it needs a lot of deadheading. It is not low maintenance in that regard.
But it sure is gorgeous, and I need more!

Also these are our #Maple trees at their finest last week. Waiting for full sun to get off the internet & finish raking them!!
They look like 3 dancers when leaves are gone

Rudbeckia Goldstrum is a great plant for #autumn nectar for #insects and adds a fantastic splash of colour to a border. #Wildlifegarden #Gardeningforwildlife #Garden
