Congrats @Perris .

No mow May is great to give many blooming wild flowers a chance to survive. And the insects profit too.
My municipality started to do this last year (only grasses) on the big lawn in our neighbourhood. This year I see more flowers between the grass.

In our own garden we didn’t mow several spots in the grass with wild flowers for a few years now. It really makes a difference. We have more marguerites, daisies, deadnettle, and more species whose names I don't know.

what sort of netting are you using there to keep the chooks off your baby veggies?
The background suggests a few plot holders are not tending their patches - or were they doing their bit for rewilding, or even No Mow May perhaps?

Happy birthday Amadeo and Dyffryn: 1 year old today, and looking good!

Lyrics

Off our rockers, actin' crazy
With the right medication we won't be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us jus' one more chance
To spin one more yarn
And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill
Back at the home,
No time is your own,
Facillities there, they're all out on loan
The bank forclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill

Amadeo is still one of the most beautiful roo I've ever seen ! I love the lemon ear lobes.

I didn't realize they were born just a day before Gaston, Piou-piou, Léa and Merle!

He's a stunner isn't he? - so are you throwing a party for Chipie's clutch tomorrow?
Thanks for the compliment; I think it's entered...but I think a half-hour read is too much for a lot of people and it definitely won't be popular in some quarters!

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Temperature is in the 60s.

Have a great day!

I've read it but I need to read it again. Lots of stuff in here I don't know much about that I should so I've got a bit of reading and learning to do. The article looks great btw.
