I had wandered in looking for a food source. As I live is a built up urban area and Peacocks are not 'free and wild' in the UK this was a very unusual occurrence. When I phoned the RSPCA they simply said he was well known in the area and to just leave him alone and in time he would move on. I took a few snaps but the quality is not as good as the pics you have posted!! Great Article. I found a Peacock (well I heard it first they are quite loud) in my garden the other day.

It's not the best picture of a peacock, but I couldn't resist including it anyway. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Mahalo, Whim!

I think it will be well-received! :) Ariah, I’m really awful at picking gifts, but I think the mini-lettuce garden was an inspired choice. I think it will be well-received! :)

It's that way throughout much of the bird kingdom. Men are such showoffs, lol! And, yes, the garden is one man's volunteer effort. I don't think the government is going to shut him down anytime soon. :D Yeah, Joana, peahens are rather drab when compared to their mates. It’s that way throughout much of the bird kingdom.

I've never grown vegetables here except a few beans and peppers, so it's an experiment. I have great faith that it will come out well. :D The lettuce will grow year-round here, Ottawa Gardener, but I don’t know if there is a “better” time that I should have started it.

It was an impulsive idea that came to me when I saw the lovely lettuce varieties on the seed rack, but I think it's a good one! :D I got the lettuce planted today Beth, and I think she’ll love it, too.

They'd have a major public outcry if they tried to make it go away. :) Chris and Laurie, I think everyone loves the bus stop garden too much for the city or county to cause any trouble about it.
