#stumpery — Public Fediverse posts

I can offer no acceptable excuse for my prolonged absence. I bow my head in humility.
In the #stumpery in the #garden today, #Buddha is snug under the acer's #autumnal canopy.

From a week or so ago, Lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, in the stumpery. They are very reliable flowering at the right time of the year, the beginning of May.
In Austria (and probably other German speaking countries) they are called Maiglöckchen, little May bells.

Comfrey in the stumpery. Sourced from a drift of self-sown comfrey elsewhere in the garden.
The bees love it but they were camera shy. I overheard them talking: “Oh. it’s him again with this thing that goes click. Looks like a giant eye. Very suspicious. Better wait and come back when he’s gone”, they said.

I know I have posted about #snowdrops, #Galanthus, before. I am so pleased with them. They keep increasing - through the season and year on year.
This group at the entrance to the #stumpery. I also have them in other borders and the #GrassMeadow.
As they flower so early, snowdrops do not rely on #pollinators but spread by bulb division. They are still visited by bees and other early insects on a warm day.

Worked in the #stumpery, mainly to allow a little more light in. #Buddha says that he is happy - good enough for me.

#Salvia #involucrata #Hadspen at the entrance to the #stumpery . I normally grow from seed but this plant was bought last October, overwintered in the greenhouse and planted out this May.
Isn’t it #beautiful ?

The light was beautiful this morning. All hazy, gentle and soft. The path in the middle on the right is the entrance to the #stumpery. Lots of new planting this year, which will only reach full height next year.

A #leafcutter #bee takes his/her piece of leaf, cut from a rose leaf in the garden, into a hollow log in the #stumpery . It is so rewarding to see the wildlife utilising my garden!

Create a "Stumpery" ... In a natural garden such as ours stumperies fulfill a purpose over and above style and beauty. Our priority has always been to provide varied habitat for birds, small mammals, insects and fungi and this is exactly what a “Wild Stumpery” offers.

[Edit: Fall 2022]
I have a stumpery next to my backyard pond which is part of a wide border I'm creating around my suburban property where I leave things as natural as I can.
This is where I'm dumping my wild rose branches, some leaves and my Hallowee'en pumpkin etc. This year I've also created a little brushpile in another corner.
