Thread Name: BS: The Late Winter Garden
Subject: RE: BS: The Late Winter Garden
I had an amble round my little patch last weekend... 10 different flowers in bloom still, although the periwinkle is looking a little worse for a bad frost we had. Judging by the state of my primroses, the slugs have woken up early.

Our blackbird seems to be scouting the garden again, her nest got 'removed' by a neighbour when she cut her pyrocantha down, so she's probably looking for another site nearby. The tits are bouncing around the trees like little clockwork toys, it seems I have both blue and coal varieties and they regularly beat up the pigeons who land on next door's privet bush to eat the berries. I've left them a fat ball and some seed balls to eat and they seem to be enjoying them. I've got two nests, one in a pitisporum tree, the other in the butterfly bush. The second is going to be a problem because I need to trim the bush down! Anyone know if it's safe to move the nest to another tree nearby?
