All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

It’s sounds like a very busy garden! How are you finding the move? You sound like someone who would really appreciate being out of the city.
We moved from a small town most recently, and prior to that we lived (and I worked) on an island nature reserve for several years. I haven't lived in anything like a large urban area for the last 18 years or so. Even coming back to the mainland and living in a small town was quite a shock!
However, in many ways this is more rural and quieter than the nature reserve - since there are no visitors. Both my SO and I are loving it. We are planning to create a no-dig veg plot in the garden and get a bit more structure to it - since it is largely just lawn at the moment - but we are here for keeps now (we hope) and we will be taking our time.
I’m very envious of your housing history. Sounds like you have a lovely quiet spot now
