For over five years now, I've been watching some small, round, self seeded "gardens".
There is a line of them along a track leading out of Craig Waur Forest, and all different.
This one has a tiny two inch larch seedling amongst whinberry and mosses.
In this one, sphagnum moss and whinberry seedlings with small lichens.
On this next cushions of moss, lichens and a hopeful blackberry seedling.
This rather sparse one, with moss, a new, tiny silver birch shorter than the grass.
On this one the grass is dominant, but has been nibbled shorter by something ...
Here quite a few whinberry seedlings rise taller than the sphagnum & lichens
Another tiny silver birch in a wonderful cushion of different mosses.
And lastly caught in a ray of sunshine in the shade of the big trees ...
A tiny Rowan (Mountain Ash) seedling on a heavily lichened fence post.
It has been fascinating to watch all these mature over the last five years, hardly
The Chelsea Flower Show, but each fascinating in their individuality.
I look forward to seeing how all of these small round fence tops progress.
