What does bother me is, the squirrels bury the acorns in my garden and last week I found two small oak trees growing much closer to the house. I am afraid they may have to be cut down before they get too big... because they are only about 18 inches high at the moment.
You can just pull them up when they small, we spend quite a while making sure original tree doesn't have babies sprouting up all around the communal grounds, just a simple weeding job a few times a year.

Yes and some are quite pretty. There are a few growing round my garden with lovely blue flowers...but I don't know what they are.
I gave up on gardening when I found that the wildlife preferred a "natural" garden.

Re: It`s so quiet

You are probably doing a great job just letting the wildlife have a sanctuary twink. They are pushed out of many gardens, we try to have a wildish corner to help them survive, have a little mouse under the shed and he seems to love the wilder corner.

Re: It`s so quiet

Well my pc is a desktop and the desk faces the window, so as I am typing I often see Foxes, rabbits and a few pheasants along with the many other birds. When I put food out for the foxes, 2 weeks ago, I even saw a little mouse climb into the bowl and have a taste before the foxes got here.
