From unkempt to controlled wild - and, we hope insect-friendly.
The white plastic tubs, once full of fat balls for the birds are my improvised water butts for now! Last week saw an enormous amount of rainfall. The grass had grown a lot, so I did a quick mow.
The bees love the blue perennial geraniums, the pink cranesbill and the self-sown yellow Californian poppies which spring up everywhere. Aquilegia is over now. We have sown a few packs of wild-flower seed at the front of the house. I hope the birds don't eat them before they germinate.
