These have been in the same tubs for 15 years they get an inch of irish peat once a year

One of last years anual dahlias let the slugs demolish it to make it shoot more and for there help i buy them a can of beer

No ponds here have a stone bird bath for the pidgeons and blackbirds and a little saucer one with stones in for the little flyers they can drink bath and then have a few soaked mealworms

My husband came home with this today, I thought of you @michael57

I now need to decide where to put it.

What lovely pics @michael57 Stunning flowers.

And @Bluebell21 too, those dahlias. Do they attract bees, I wonder?

I've got a fuchsia that I was hoping to be of use for bees or butterflies, but I haven't seen much activity around it. However, I did manage to propagate a few sprigs. They are already starting to root, so hopefully more pots in the garden with those.

Cool, I am hoping to see lots of them, they are very welcome @Bluebell21 the bees and butterflies.

This year I managed to grow four butterfly bushes from cuttings. And last week I've also took some from a hydrangea and forsythia, but I've never tried to propagate these simply in water before. We'll see how that will turn out.
I don't want to spend money on plants and most garden centers only have plants full of pesticides, here in the NL there is an online garden store that sells organically grown greenery. It is nice there are some people who think the same and try to swap.

Well, good luck with Sam. One of our cats is very much a hunter and indeed was stung once, leaving her with a swollen and warm paw for three days. Did she change her mind? Nope, still running around after everything she can get her paws on. It is fun to watch her getting agitated and frown at a fly :)

To this in a month
