Seeds are ripening. The seeds of alexanders are as black as jet. The berries of wild arum are scarlet - some people call them "lords and ladies". They are very different from the green flower. We can eat alexanders seeds (they're a bit like pepper) but it's risky to eat the red berries. Most of the flower...

It's a squirrel's tail, and there's a body behind the leaves. It's looking for hazel nuts. We won't have any nuts ourselves this year! There are many creatures that would like to eat our plants, some of them with four legs and others without any legs at all. This slug i...

The trees are full of apples, but there are many apples on the grass. There are more of them after rain or wind. Nature is assisted by hungry squirrels. How do I know that? Because I saw a squirrel running through the branches with a yello...

Shelves are full of lots of big and small boxes. There are little pieces in every box. I hate little pieces! At home they never stay in their boxes. There are tubs full of toys with labels but without boxes. There are cuddly, comforting animals. They are perfect for small children - ...

They are building new houses and extensions. There's building work in gardens too. Sometimes there's a need for a rebuild. We see roof frames on old walls and new walls. Roof frames are made of wood but walls can be made of wood or stone or bricks. Sometimes the walls are faked - they are not solid stone, or the wood is only a s...
