I try and stick with Evergreens and perennials, although I do grow Pansies from seeds for hanging baskets

Nice I've not done hanging baskets

We grew a tomato plant in a little hanging basket actually. It definitely didn't grow as well as the ones in proper large pots, but you can grow anything in them that can fit in a regular pot!
We're planning on moving early next year so I don't think we'll be able to do much planting next year. Still love to see what everyone here is doing though 🙂

Strawberry plants do well in hanging baskets too 🍓

Yes I planted strawberries in the ground, which didn't help as they need to hang down, so need to be higher up. Easy access for the cheeky birds

Hanging Basket strawberries work really well as it gives them space to hang down and if you put a little piece of tinfoil on the hanging part it tends to keep the birds from helping themselves.
I did recently put up a few bird feeders and that also seems to help plus it’s lots of fun watching the little birds chowing down on the seeds although oddly they don’t seem as interested in the suet balls so might have to try another variety of them

We planted strawberries in a bed by the side of our garden last year and this year we found them halfway across the entire garden! It's surprising how far they can vine. We have both alpine and regular versions and it's nice. My partner planted them because they're one of my favourite fruits.

Alpine are absolutely delicious!!
My plan for next year is to get some dwarf fruit trees and grow some strawberries so I might be with alpine ☺️

Well the birds might not be interested in the suet balls but a very young looking squirrel has taken a shining to them this morning ☺️

Lol squirrel 🐿️ don't miss a trick. I had a sofa waiting to be picked up by the council, the squirrel was going in and out of it getting the filling for his nest. He did a treat with the left over Xmas nuts too.

Looked to be quite a young squirrel, Going to have to get some nuts next time I order bird seed so he has something to enjoy ☺️
Was funny to see though they are rather acrobatic 🤭

Oh very I was sat in the garden on Saturday and one came on the fence, stopped looked at me, I was a bit scared he was going to run at me, so I made myself look bigger, I mean of course I am, but he ran off so it worked lol

I don’t think I’d dare try that lol we have Ring cameras in the garden and knowing my partner it would end up on YouTube lol 😂

My grandad has a little group of 5-6 squirrels that he continues to feed into his 90s. He has named them all and can tell them all apart.
When I lived in Glasgow the two closest parks the squirrels behaved differently. In Kelvingrove they were your usual skittish things, they might eventually come up to you if you stayed still long enough and had food.
The Botanic Gardens squirrels though? Brazen things. I saw one climb into a babies buggy once looking for food. If you put a shopping bag down on the ground you'd soon have one running up to see if they could rummage through it.

Well it started by getting the Ring Doorbell we didn’t think it would be much use but ended up loving it so we had some of the cameras installed, We have 2 cameras in back garden and 2 at the front garden, the area is lovely so not really needed but it does reduce the home insurance so that’s a big plus

We have a eufy doorbell camera, a second covering the front door and then a few internal cameras to watch the cat while we're away, that's the only time they ever get plugged in and turned on. The doorbell camera has certainly been helpful for deliveries when we aren't in. Though we've noticed certain delivery companies appear to avoid ringing the doorbell if it's a camera doorbell.

Yodel and Evri do that here but thankfully the motion detection & parcel detection gets them lol
We do have a DPD driver that always does a little dance for the doorbell lol 😂

Our DPD drivers are quite nice too! Yodel and Evri are probably the worst… Our local posties are very nice too.
