In praise of the pollinators

A friend had this link 'liked' on her facebook page a week or so ago and I have only just gotten around to watching it.

It's 07:40 minutes worth of media that is time moderately well spent, if only for the bats and the sounds they make. Other than the sounds the animals/insects make, I'd mute the new age bullshit music.

On my only day off, I slept till 11am (unheard of for me, normally up between 3-5am) and am about to go throw some compost on the flower bed that reminds me of the sahara. I'm not a gardener, don't get the impression that I am. I want to be, I long to understand the intricate pattern and connection of things, but I tend to forget to water and dote. Succulents do well under my care - just ask my jade plant. I was given that beauty during my masters degree 11 years ago and she has thrived.

Going to plant the sunflowers I sprouted and a pollinator garden in a week. After the threat of frost has actually passed.

I can't wait :D
