Progress?
Bills bumping this thread reminded me that I intended to take some updated photographs, so I went outside and quickly grabbed these. A neighbour asked me the other day which were the plants and which were weeds. I replied that since the plants were all wild flowers and the like I suppose some would regard them as all weeds. This is the progress since my initial posting.

Now I know that I planted a wild bird attracting mix, but I did at least expect some flowers before the wild birds were attracted, but no such luck. Some time ago I posted this shot of a Wood Pigeon (on the bird thread) with an evil glint and intent in its eye

Well the result is some considerable damage to this plant, and most like it

Many of the leaves have been reduced to mere stalks thanks to the continued attention from Wood Pigeons and the growing tips bitten out. Only one plant seems to have survived relatively unscathed.

This one, which I think might be a Teasel, if it hasn't been damaged such that it doesn't produce a seed head.
In the meantime House Sparrows are attacking the developing buds on many other plants, only the poppies seem to be unscathed at the moment. If I get any blooms I'll post the results, things look a little dodgy at the moment
