Oh I am always happy to see some beautiful bluebells @sarah_lea12 they always remind me of childhood and never fail to put a big grin on my face. 😁

I remember them too from my childhood, we used to live in the countryside and the fields had white and blue bluebells, I assume they are wild flowers ?

They are indeed wild flowers @sarah_lea12 and one of my favourites. 😊

i would imagine almost all the white blue bells around nowadays are the spanish ones easy to tell apart from our native ones with the flowers all around the stem with no scent where ours are on one side and are scented classed as an invasive species in ireland and judging by the amount around the uk we will follow suit soon

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 .

This is just one side of my dads garden which bloomed a few days after he died .

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!

Haha yes @michael57! I'm usually a garden pacifist but it might be time to open a beer garden 😁
