I love gardening
I don't have much space but a small rockery I built myself and several tubs
Keeps my mind occupied tending flowers
Plenty of weeds lol

And I see them now in the woods , even white ones , they are so pretty . They just seem to come up each year no matter what .
This is copy , but I've seen these many times . I also have somewhere a picture I took a few days after my dad in 2017, he loved his garden and it was as if the flowers bloomed just for him in his memory , the garden was covered . I will find it and post it .

Had a peak at my outdoor planters earlier after neglecting them for a couple of days. Everything has been chomped down to stalks by the local snails. Marigolds, courgettes, bean plants, peas. All gone. They've eaten everything but my tomato plants, cheeky little blighters 🐌
Need to recruit an army of hedgehogs from somewhere to overturn the slimy hordes!
Ah well. Guess I'll be making lots of tomato dishes this year then 😁
Hope you're all having better success than I am this year!

@Rosie_Scope I've heard if you crush up egg shells and place them around the plants it's meant to help stop the cheeky snails getting at them. Don't know how true that is, but I used to know someone that did that and swore by it ☺️

My army of mega snails would probably eat them too @Holly_Scope 😂, but I will have to give that a go!

Not a very ethical thing to do nowadays, but you can collect them all up and place them in a bucket of salted water.

I give them one plant for themselves they touch the rest they get the beer our little blackbird causes more mayhem he just likes things his way however many times I put it back does make us chuckle tho

You can buy nematodes to spray on gardens that will decimate slugs and snails that get in the areas you've inoculated. Well worth the price.
I spent most of yesterday repotting my carnivorous plants. I got everything looking lovely, then overnight got visited by blackbirds and a squirrel, so everything's been dug up. 😆
