2011 So-Far

Greetings and welcome back to the UKGW Blog

Over the course of this year due to other commitments I have been a bit slack with the UKGW blog. So rather than try to make up and remember all of the goings on of the last year in the garden I will mention a few things that have happen and post up the story in pictures.

I decided to take part of the wildlife area and turn it into a micro wildflower meadow..
When I say micro I mean around 5m x 5m..

Even this small area has attracted different insects to the garden that were not normally seen.

We have a lot of the harlequin ladybirds around this year but also quite a few British ladybirds which is nice to see.

The teasel that I planted over a year ago came to life this year, it’s like a natural sculpture.

The pond has seen the usual dragon and damselflies along with the pond skaters and water boatman.

This year also saw a very large population of common newts.

So here it is… The UKGW garden blog in pictures..
