Southsea Greenhouse: A bird-feeding recipe to try at home

It was all quiet last weekend when I nipped up to the garden to feed the worms.

I rescued our honeysuckle archway by weaving willow through it. I’m going to need more to save it though and need to make the garden path less slippery.

Christmas recycled: please drop your old Christmas trees over the garden gate and we will chip them for ground cover.

And why not try this recipe for a DIY bird feeder courtesy of the Co-op. You’ll need a fir cone, coconut shell, or yoghurt pot (make a hole in it for hanging first), then add hard cooking fat mixed with bird feed, cooked rice, grated cheese, dried fruit or chopped nuts, and then plaster all over your feeder pot, cone or shell, and hang outside.
