I'll
admit my front garden may appear to be a rampant mess of competing thuglike
plants.
But when I opened the curtains
this morning there were three goldfinches feeding on the thistledown.

Ooh! I love
Goldfinches!

They nest in
the back garden three doors down so there always seems to be a couple flirting
about. There were fledglings feeding on
unripe pyrocanthus berries at the end of my back garden today. It belongs to the garden over the back and is
so vicious they never prune it so it's dozens of feet high now and the birds
love it.

My lawn has
stayed long and luxuriant this summer largely because a friend said the clover
would be good for the bees. She's right!
The lawn's abuzz with all sorts of bees
and other pollinators, and once the clover flowers have died off I'll give it a
short back and sides.

I have my
mower on the highest setting. I don't
have red clover but do have white clover and speedwell, as well as daisies,
buttercups and many other little plants I don't know the name of. I've also given up strimming. Why should the edges have to look like
something off a parade ground?
