But back to the wildlife. For christmas this year we bought a bird feeder, one with the weight response ledges to it, so if anything heavy lands on it such as a squirrel, pigeon or crow they cannot acess the food. we promptly hung it in the boder close to next doors Cherry tree and near my Miscanthus caberet and nothing happened. I was excepting it take a week or so for the birs to get used to it and to stop it smelling like humans but nothing, no visitors at all. So I thought what else could we do to to improve the gardens attractiveness to birds. I had done a lot of single flower and adding lots of purple and blue flowers over the summer, geraniums, verbenas, thalictrums,and the increase in Bees, hoverflys and butterflies had been amazing.
