n English gardener, who takes a lot of photos, visits many places, listens to lots of music, reads a lot of books, who has wandered the earth but is currently dug in in Sacramento, California. On this blog: gardening and wildlife. Life in Northern California, and an archive of postings from Long Island's southern shore, amid the wetlands... restoring house and garden.

Mosquitos? Get martens! (Purple, house, whichever you can!)
Noticed that a lot of visitors end up on this blog, searching for anti-mosquito devices. The best one I have is lodged above the light on the front of the house, just below the gutter. Looks like a large wasps' nest from the street... it's not, it's a marten's home, and they have been happily producing baby martens. And they all spend their days and evenings feasting on mozzies. Brilliant!
