Spring has sprung

[Old Cruser]

Well for now it has!!
I've been in the garden today, tidying planters and watering as we haven't really had much rain lately.
The one rabbit hutch I have which isn't occupied by hedgehogs has been opened up to let the warm air in and the cover washed down.
We need the pressure washer on the Patio but can't get into the outside tap to switch it back on as it's stacked with items from the shed which we moved out to put my overwintered hedgehog in.
I also had my first hedgehog of the year on my trail camera it was on the lawn eating the Spike biscuits I had left out.
It's a lovely day!!

I have been putting my camera out at nights (when I remember to!) and have had hedgehogs, badgers and cats...great to see them...Oh, and pigeons!

My hibernating hedgehog woke up on 11th April - we were going to Liverpool to a wedding and I had arranged his care with a friend just for the one night we were away. It was too hot in the shed though so we carried down to another indoor area which was cooler. He's gained weight but only outside during the daytime as it's still quite cold at the moment.
I have some visiting Hedgehogs in my garden as well - and yes - pigeons --- ohhh badgers - they are bad news for hedgehogs unfortunately 
I've bought a few plants for my tubs today but have herbs in most. I'm not planting outside just yet though as we are down for 15 inches of SNOW - well so the papers tell us!!

Went out this morning for about an hour, got back to find someone had put a post on the green opposite with a notice attached.  Turns out it's the council who are not going to cut the grass in May something along the lines of "not mowing in May".

Good that means there will be more council workers available to help fill in the pot holes, and by the looks of the chap that mows on our estate he could do with the exercise.

They have marked a couple of places to resurface on our cul de sac...hardly even potholes...

I've seen that done but at times none does anything else and the marks fade.
 Interested o know if it's actually finished
