I wonder why your sparrows rip the sedum, we have loads of sparrows in the hedges but they haven't touched ours - yet! I expect they are after the seeds perhaps? Next door's pampas grass gets shredded earlier in the year for nest building, the sparrows love that. The kite is fun and came from Jurassic Kites in Dorset:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-70533743010406618712016-09-18T10:05:24.116+01:002016-09-18T10:05:24.116+01:00Yes, it has been a busy week, it was lovely to sit...Yes, it has been a busy week, it was lovely to sit out and watch the butterflies, they stayed for ages feeding on the sedum flowers. We may end up making chutney, so far we've made several packs of tomato puree and frozen it.
