Buddlea grow like weeds here, which are great for peacocks,painted ladies, red admiral, etc, I also have woodland to the rear which brings others but I really would like to see Comma's make a "come back" in substantial numbers

The Comma is one of the commonest butterflies round these parts, BB. I'm surprised that you haven't got many, they are a nationwide insect success story of the last 100 years. But, whereabouts in the world is Upper-Woodenhill???Comment

oh I'm definitely going to leave some nettles.
The patch think is a bit out of control covers about 100 sq feet. I have lots of smaller clumps of all types of nettles in the area, these vary from 6ft sq to 20ft sq.
I do use the nettle tops when they are new, great in veggie soups and I dry the leaves in the rayburn for 'tea' which I love.
Talking about bees, I saw probably the largest bumble bee I've ever see today, it was buzzing around happily in the sunshine looking like a large furry marble
