    We are lucky @Michael Hewett that we can bury our cats in our own garden. This makes the way shorter if we want to talk to them. What looks currently lifeless will get soon a new "smell". Dewi will be a good garden explorer. It's always fun seeing them exploring for the first time.

    Anyone struck fig tree cuttings before?

    Indeed. It'll likely be breaking dormancy in around a month and could be fully rooted by June. Unless this house sale goes incredibly smoothly, there should be enough time.

    All you want to know about hedgehogs....

    My trailcam had 4 out of 9 videos recorded last night with nothing to see in the videos ... until I saw hedgehog poo over the day in the garden. So, they are waking up and are looking for food.
