An alternative A-Z of gardening for wildlife, regeneration, and wilding, Part 6

An alternative A-Z of gardening for wildlife, regeneration, and wilding, Part 6

U is for untidiness and unnecessariness – Remember your mindset at the beginning of the Alphabet. You are gardening for wildlife, and it loves a mess of habitats dead and alive. Your job is to manage this mess, harness its beauty, and see wildflowers in the lawn for what they are flowers to be appreciated, and for all the leftover clippings there is compost and those hideaways in the hedges.

V is for voles and vegetables – Under some old, corrugated tin in an area of long grass hide families of voles, along with a toad, a surefire safari stop off when explaining nature to children. The best free nature home you never found in a garden center.  Later in the year, the grass snakes will push out the voles as they lie under the steely warmth.  I call out vegetables because it keeps you alive to the seasons and your healthy garden will need no sprays with all the birds and insects.

W is for willowherb - In addition to the common deep pink flower, there is also a beautiful white and a lighter pink variety. Be careful it is quite invasive, but I grow it for the flowers and for being the food plant of the elephant hawk moth. Another example of a wonderful flower usually denigrated as a weed.

X is for Xcelerate and xecute –Sure I struggled here so I am stylizing the words to say get on with it

Y is for Yellow Rattle and yaffles – Rhinanthus minor (yellow rattle) your most important plant, in the Wildflower meadow parasitising off your grass. We all love a good yaffle stabbing the lawn

Z is for the zoo – You may not realise it, but you already have your own wildlife zoo in the garden, you are just the zoo keeper. Your very own Jonny Morris in your own ‘Animal Kingdom’ 

Good luck

    Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

    HELLO, IS POSSIBLE TO RECOVER YOUR LOST BITCOIN, I JUST WANT TO SHARE TESTIMONY OF HOW / OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS HELPED ME RECOVER MY LOST USD

       My Name is Michael Thomas and I am From Wonderland, UK . After losing over $540k USD in a pig slaughtering theft last month, I was contacted by a phony broker who introduced me to trade signals. I decided to give it a shot because they said I could make around 15% profit on my trades. I made money with small investments at first, but as I wanted to invest large sums, I discovered that I was unable to access my trade or take my gains, which is when I realized I had been duped. Then, even though the internet is dangerous, I went online. Fortunately, after doing a thorough search, I discovered http:/optimistichackergaius.com , who had a lot of good asset recovery reviews. I hired them, and in a matter of hours, I was able to recover my money  After that, even though the internet is dangerous, I went online and luckily found http://optimistichackergaius.com They had a lot of good reviews on asset recovery, so I hired them, and I was able to recover some of my losses in a matter of hours.

    My sincere gratitude goes to THE EXNER HACKER services. This guy came through for me big time. I didn’t anticipate, at all, ever getting my funds back. The Sky West investment company dissolved with all of my funds in it. It was a fraudulent company faking to help investors put their money in a productive state. May it be investment, forex, or cryptocurrency. Whatever form you would wish to invest your funds in. $490,000 of mine would have been long gone if The Exner Hacker hadn’t shed light and led the way into gaining back my funds. May you remain blessed sir. Email: TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom

    I am Gavin Sparks, a Sweden born programmer living in Phoenix. After mining 100 btc worth $2.6M early 2021, I decided to sell off my old laptop and had to save all the wallets’ private keys and passwords to a small hard drive known as Iron keys. Unluckily the drive got lost. I tried several times to enter the password with no luck. I had to look for a hacker’s help to revive my wallet. That’s when I came across Recovery Masters, modernized experts in crypto Recovery. After a serious conversation with them my wallet was retrieved back with all my funds intact. I Must recommend them for the good and reliable services.
