Lidl wildflower mix

The border where we sowed a really cheap wildflower seed mix from Lidl is full of colour and life. As usual the ox-eye daisies are taking over the garden but I don't mind as its my favourite flower and the bees and hoverflies love it. I have had a lovely crop of carrots from a tub in the greenhouse.

Ebb and Flo

Ebb and Flo left us on 27/06. They set off on a walk and refused to be turned back, we followed at a distance and they headed straight for one of the ponds, they even knew where there was a gap under the wire fence. There was already a female duck with 12 ducklings there who all hid in the reeds. we left them to it and for the next couple of days went up with some wheat for them, though they seemed very nervous suddenly. However we had a really bad thunderstorm on the 30th and the next morning they were in the garden along with their mum and the drake and all were  ravenous. Now every morning they turn up, sometimes just Ebb and Flo, sometimes with their parents and sometimes with another female.
