My 30 Days Wild #17

What a scorcher of a day! By far warmer than the last couple of days!
Out in the garden, I noticed more of the edible plants on the nettle mound were flowering.
This time, the clover were in bloom.


I must say, the mound is looking very impressive at the moment!
Before...


After...


After cutting the hedge back a couple of days ago, I rediscovered last years Blackbird nest.
It was a very neat little nest and amazing to think it was home to possibly 4 Blackbird chicks!


Unfortunately, there was a small amount of plastic sheeting woven into the small twigs which formed the delicate nest. It's sad to see that this small piece of plastic may have already been in the hedge or worse, the Blackbird chose to use it as nesting material.


Nest aside, I carried on gardening.
Next up, I planted the remaining 3 tomato plants and hopefully, they will grow into a mini tomato bush!


And I also planted all the potted pansy's round the washing line. We need to jazz it up somehow if it is going to sit in our mini wildflower meadow!


Later on in the evening, after the worse of the suns heat had burnt off, I carried out a mini moth night with a couple of friends.


We attracted alot of male mosquitoes and midges along with 5 species of moth, which included the Swallowtail moth.
