One I remember involved a “tiny bonfire” at a friend’s overgrown and tinder-dry garden (you can guess what came next).

There were also several incidents involving go-karts and the bus station wall, not to mention the Guy Fawkes guy I dressed in dad’s old clothes which, it turned out too late, weren’t old clothes at all. These days I get myself into much bigger scrapes – well, one scrape in particular.

The one in my wildlife area. This sort of scrape is a shallow pond of the sort you see in nature reserves. It’s a haven for wildlife – far greener than conventional ponds, water features and fountains – and being low-tech there’s virtually no maintenance.

Think of it as an intentional puddle. It’s meant to look as if rainwater has gathered naturally in a shallow depression in the ground. Instead of having vertical sides with hard surrounds like a formal pond, a scrape has very gently shelving edges consisting of sandy or gravelly “beaches” or turf running right down into the water.

 

The gradual slope makes it easy for all sorts of creatures to walk in and out to drink or take a bath. There will be waterside wildflowers growing in the shallows, which provide valuable habitats for water creatures such as dragonfly larvae.

A good scrape looks very handsome and is beneficial for the environment since there’s bags of biodiversity and it doesn’t waste water.

If you fancy getting into a scrape yourself, winter is the very best time to start work. Begin by marking out your site. Simply enlarge a natural depression if you have one in the garden, otherwise mark out a rough saucer-shape and dig it out a few inches deep.

Even if the site is normally a tad boggy, it’s worth lining the scrape to help it hold water, otherwise it could vanish in a hot summer. Proper butyl pond liner is best but you could get away with strong black polythene.

Fit the lining down into your depression leaving plenty of slack coming up and over the sides, then trim off the excess so there’s a foot of spare liner all round the edge and bury it under a few inches of soil. Leave the “puddle” to fill with rain over the winter.

Don’t worry if it goes a bit green at first, it’s only natural. When you are ready for phase two, start to landscape the edges. Use gravel and big smooth stones to make “beaches” in some places and elsewhere unroll grassy turves so they run right down into the sides of the scrape.

Then in spring buy pots of moisture-loving wildflowers such as lady’s smock and primroses to plant in the grass round the edge.

Put marginal plants such as marsh marigolds and bog bean in some mud in the shallow water near the edge, then add one or two upright aquatic plants such as arrowhead to make “islands” further out.

In no time you’ll have a natural water feature from which you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away. All it needs is a nice bench so you can sit and watch wildlife arrive. It soon will – birds and beasts love getting into a scrape. 

Strawberry tree’s a real late bloomer

WHEN the rest of the garden is winding down, there’s one plant that’s just starting to put on its big annual show – the strawberry tree, Arbutus unedo.

It’s a small evergreen tree that grows up to 8ft or a large shrub that can also be trained into standard “lollipop” shapes for growing in large tubs, making it suitable for tiny gardens or patios.

A pair of them either side of a front door looks smart all year round, even when they are just leafy.

But at this time of year the strawberry tree suddenly struts its stuff. Sprays of small, white bell-shaped flowers emerge from the tips of the shoots, so a standard trained tree will be covered. At the same time last year’s fruits, which have lurked almost unseen, ripen to a blazing red.

They are round, rough coated and carried in small bunches – not terribly strawberry-like it’s true (more like Christmas-tree baubles) but they do look good.

The contrast with the flowers is so dramatic, even though it always seems strange to have flowers and ripe fruit on the same plant at the same time – a trick you normally associate with lemons and similar citrus trees.

But the strawberry tree has more than mere good looks going for it.

It’s terribly tolerant. It takes to town and city life since it puts up with traffic fumes and dust and it’s happy beside the seaside as it copes with salt spray.

“Can you eat the fruit?” people always ask. Well, the “strawberries” won’t do you any harm but they don’t taste of anything.

Much better to leave them on the plant looking pretty.

The complete show of flowers and ripe fruit lasts for roughly two months, from now until the end of November, which is good going for such a concentrated out-of-season display.

After beating FC Rostov courtesy of Juan Mata’s 10th goal of the season, Mourinho expressed his anger at the fixture planners who gave United an FA Cup tie at Chelsea on Monday and a Premier League noon kick-off at Middlesbrough on Sunday.

He said: “We were afraid of extra time. It was a difficult game. We have lots of enemies.

“Normally the enemies should be Rostov but we have a lot of enemies. It’s difficult to play Monday with 10 men, it’s difficult to play now, it’s difficult to play 12 o’clock on Sunday. We have a lot of enemies.

“A lot of people might say we should have scored more goals. But a lot of things are going against us. The boys are amazing boys. We will probably lose the game on Sunday. Fatigue has a price.

“I will remember forever when I spoke to the UEFA delegate in Rostov. He told me if any of our players gets injured, the insurance paid. Whoever decided the Monday and Sunday games probably thinks the same way.”

Jose Mourinho voiced his displeasure at United’s fixture pile-up

A blow for United is the loss of Paul Pogba, who limped off with a hamstring injury ealry in the second half and is certain to miss Sunday’s trip to the Riverside.

Match winner Mata was about to be replaced by Marcus Rashford but ball didn’t go out before he struck in the 70th minute.

He said: “It was matter of finishing off our chances again. We created chances but we couldn’t finish. To win it is our aim. We want to win every tournament we play in.

The level of teams left is good and it will be difficult. We want to play Champions League football next season and this is one way to do it

Skipper Chris Smalling praised No 2 keeper Sergio Romero who made three stunning seocnd half saves, including a last kick of the game effort form Koren Bayramyan. He said: “We know we have two quality keepers and whoever selected.”

The other seven teams in today’s quarter-final draw are Besiktas, Genk, Ajax, Celta Vigo, Schalke, Lyon and Anderlecht.

In a BBC interview, Mourinho admitted that United “are not ready to be a dominant force” and fans should forget about a return to the days of Sir Alex Ferguson.

United won 13 Premier League titles under Ferguson, but Mourinho says it is now impossible to be so dominant.

Asked if he could return the club to its former greatness, the Portuguese said: “Forget it. Don’t try to go 10, 20 years ago because it is not possible any more.”

He also insisted United do not need to qualify for the Champions League to attract top players, he would not have sold forwards Angel di Maria, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck had he been United manager and it has en easy for midfielder Paul Pogba to adjust back to English football.

“We are not ready to be Manchester United. We are minant force. We are not ready to try and win everything.

“Because of the nature of the club, and of myself, we are ready to fight for every game, every point. But there is a space between the general ambition of such a giant club and what we are in reality.”

Mourinho said United – who beat Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield in August had won “one and a half” trophies this season.

“Many other teams in England are going to finish the season without a trophy,” he said. “But we have to fight for the top four, we have to fight for the Champions League. The cup is not enough to say that the season is over.”

Mourinho took charge, United have spent an estimated £150m on midfielders Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and defender Eric Bailly, and brought in striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for free.

But the Portuguese said the club’s previous transfer dealings caused him concern.

He named three forwards – PSG’s Angel di Maria, Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier Hernandez and Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck – as players he would not have sold.

“I found a sad club,” he said. “Manchester United sold players that I would never sell, bought players that I would never buy.”

Mourinho would not name the players he would not have signed, but in January he allowed midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin and forward Memphis Depay to leave for Everton and Lyon respectively.

He has largely frozen out former Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger and has handed just seven league starts to left-back Luke Shaw, who cost £27m from Southampton in 2014.

Mourinho said he was not worried about attracting players this summer if United fail to qualify for the Champions League, pointing to last summer as proof the club can still sign the best players.

“Manchester United is very powerful, it doesn’t need to be in the Champions League to attract the best players,” he said.

“Zlatan could still be in Paris. Mkhitaryan could be at Borussia Dortmund. Pogba could be at Juventus. We were able to attract the players because they know that Manchester United sooner or later will get there.

“If any player decides not to come because of that, then I am happy that they are not coming.”
