Freeze poppy seeds in an ice cube for a week or two, before throwing on the soil! Poppy seeds often need a cold snap to break dormancy.

Today why not make a bee saver kit 🐝. Ours is a mini jam jar and a child’s medicine syringe. Small enough to pop in your bag. Just fill the jam jar with a sugar solution - 30% sugar to 70% water and you can help a tired bee when you see one as you’re out

Gardening For Wildlife
Some birds need to eat their body weight every day, so bird feeders over the winter months can really help. Remember to keep areas clean, to avoid spreading diseases.

Starlings numbers have been dropping since the late '70's, because of this starlings are now a red listed bird of high conservation concern. In London, we have a little gang of them living in Camden Market. Have you any near you?
