The wild garlic from the little patch of old woodland next to my garden has made it through the fence. A very welcome incursion

Can anybody recommend a cat feeding bowl that slows down fast eaters? Available in the UK and not from Amazon please. Please only suggest only those you have actually tried and had success with.

@sarahdalgulls Do you follow @sundogplanets? I'm sure you'll find some resources on her feed

Finding a lot of these little hibernating buddies in my garden at the moment. I just put whatever they’re hiding under back and work elsewhere. They’re ruby tiger moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa) caterpillars I believe

Elderly next door neighbours had some people in to do the garden. One of them looked like it was their first ever time handling loppers because he kept stopping and staring at the blades and just randomly chopped at the shrubs while another was haphazardly slopping paint on the fence. Next time I went outside after they'd left neighbour's daughter was on the phone giving them an earful about what a terrible state they've left the garden in.

Don't trust random "gardeners" you find on Facebook!

I'm thinking of digging out a pond in my garden. I have a high clay content soil and a high water table, and really want to avoid a plastic liner if possible. A little worried that I'll put all the efforts in and then it won't hold water, although even if the really hot dry summer my garden soil still held moisture. Any tips on creating natural ponds? I don't have the budget for bentonite clay lining.
