I did a bit of research about having multiple hedgehog houses, they only need to be sited a couple of metres apart.
So I've decided to put the second house in the left-hand corner of the garden behind the pagoda and the clump of black bamboo. This will be less exposed and therefore more attractive to a new tenant and far enough away from the one near the tea-house, to avoid confrontations. If I put food in front of each at the same time, there should be no problems.

Green magic is very good....and aptly named.

I'm still waiting for a lot of ice to melt so I can plant tatsoi seeds! The getting has mostly cleared and we have several days in the 50s coming. Right now I'm lining up recipients for cuttings from the gooseberry trying that will happen shortly.

I did get all the bird feeders full and cleaned up a lot of stuff left out before the huge snow/ice/freezing rain dump. There is a lot of work planned for this week though.

Ahh, gooseberry...how I so wish I could grow those for that tangy taste.

They're really great producers and great for pollinators because they flower really early. We get a mess of berries but so does all the wildlife.

Nothing to do in the garden today, but "for something to do," I went to B&Q near the Trafford Centre.
My wife had mentioned (twice) recently, that lower one of the peace lilies in the hanging baskets in the hall was dying.
This is because it gets less light from the window next to the landing on the stairs. What I should do, is swop them over regularly, but you know how it is.

The lilies in a vase on the landing windowsill are artificial.

So I decided to replace them. But the only ones they had were about two feet tall. So I settled for two white Anthuriums at a tenner each.

The other peace lily is OK, for which I found a ceramic pot and it's now in the lounge.

I bought two paving stones for the hedgehouse base I need and a substantial plastic box I can convert to a new hedgehog feeder.

I'll have to do a bit of "fettling" to attach the entrance tube as the box has a couple of strengthening bars on each end. I'll use a fretsaw to cut the plastic, as they split easily.
I also bought a bag of compost, "for the sake of buying some," it always comes in handy.

But no change out of £55.

For those who may be tiring of looking at turnips today I threw in some Carrots, Radish, and Kale for a little variety

@Tundra20 the carrots shown in the photo are "seed tape carrots" I mentioned previously...very convenient to pick only what you can eat fresh

How much does seed take carrots and and price?

 

[Meadowlark]

More than a regular seed packet, but the convenience is well worth it to me

I get mine from Amazon.
