Our native Hedgerows hold so much magic, as a habitat, not only do they supply food and shelter to many, but there are incredible stories behind the complex flora and fauna communities - such as the dog rose and the tiny Robin pincushion gall wasp which fascinatingly are mainly female and can reproduce without mating (parthenogenesis)
Even the smallest hedgerow or wild corner is worth planting and nurturing as these species rich biodiverse habitats have sadly become so rare.

We have had 2 amazing new wild flowers arrive in the meadow. The first is the stunning evening primrose that opens at night and is loved by night feeding insects, it is also used to create the nourishing evening primrose oil. The second is the exquisitely coloured field scabious, the stunning little florets are packed full of nectar so the insects love it. Historically it was also used in the treatment of scabies.

Hamish and I always get so excited when we see the ants taking their nuptial flights it’s incredible to see so many of these amazing creatures taking to the air. After mating the queens chew off their own wing so they can easy go under ground to build a new nest / colony, but what’s more they use the digested wing muscles as nutrients whilst newly underground, nature is just awesome.

The beautiful peacock butterfly for us in highland Perthshire is the first magical spirit (butterfly) to emerge from hibernation, the nettles that herald spring which are a firm family favourite particularly in soup or pesto - are also critical to this most spectacular butterflies life cycle 🦋

We have a few of these paths around the farm, but neither Hamish or I have the heart to reclaim the paths back, as nature is doing such a beautiful job of spreading it magic

Tonight’s tea in a nutshell
Lemon balm - soothing and helps relaxation
German Camomile - helps sleep and digestion
Mugwort - helps dreaming and relaxation (not to be used if you are pregnant) but it is great for menopause.
Dandelion - helps clear toxins
Clover - is amazing partially for us ladies, but it also help reduce inflammation in the lungs so help Hamish hayfever.
