Author: Linda

I've lived in Tayport for 11 years and always enjoyed gardening. It was the garden of our house that played a big part in our decision to move to Tayport. My favourite gardening pastime is to sit on the swing seat with a coffee and watch all the creatures that visit. This changes with the seasons and there are many regulars and others that pass through. Regulars include frogs, toads, bumble bees, field mice, blackbirds, robins, sparrows, chaffinch, tits, wren and goldcrest. I have had a heron, sparrowhawk and squirrel pass through and would love to see a hedgehog visit but the stone walls surrounding the garden are probably preventing that. I'm not a particularly tidy gardener and have several "wild" areas - great for attracting insects and other critters.
