Ben's Garden Blog
Surprises us with dazzling miracles
Much diverted by the blog, Ben, and thought you might wish to be warned that the humble water vole has been seen being eaten by herons in the garden of our friends the Weymouths, as we learned at their delicious luncheon today.

Ben. I feel sure that, deep down in your inner soul, lies an unpublished post on the subject of Biscuits. Would you be so kind as to winkle it out when you have a moment?
Ben,
allan johnson (nov 22 comment) got his small mammals a bit mixed up. it was a water shrew, not vole, which got eaten by a heron on the banks of our brook. we had seen the enchanting water shrew several times darting to & fro in the silt of the water bottom and were able to get a close look at it. sadly we haven’t seen another since the heron snatch.
like your blog a lot.
Did you landscape that park yourself?
Hi, Where is your allotment?
Hi Ben,
What a wonderful blog.
Thanks for the mention of my column. I actually don’t mind gardening – it’s Gardeners’ Question Time that I can’t sit through! Perhaps I should have written “The Archers” instead though (I love Radio 4 but the tie-up between the two was the station’s low point of the last decade).
Best,
Rosamund
