Squirrels , we have had problems with them , I use pots with chicken wire over top until they start to grow and also put it over those on the ground until established
What's all this talk of heating going on??? tsk. I have a thick blanket on the sofa and a German Shepherd for the bed.
I have 115 hours to take off before the end of the year. Not bad as I started with 115.5 hours holiday. Time to start looking for cheap train tickets for days out!
I've decided the cup plant pots are a no go; they are very dull in colour.
Well done Hosta Best to leave the bottom corner ... it was a bit boggy when we were there wasn't it? Don't want you getting stuck down there and having to send for the neighbour and his tractor to tow you out
Check the industrial action plans on the railways before you book Clari!!!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Haven't put the heating on here, but we have a gas heater in the kitchen and a wood burner in the sitting room. No German Shepherd in the bedroom, just each other. Was only 3° this morning, but 20° in the afternoon.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The annual heating-going-on chat always makes me laugh. We have just had a new 'thingy' installed so we can remotely change the temperature in every room etc, and it has already caused 'debate'. I was brought up on the 'put a jumper on' school of thought, although my Mum always opened the kitchen window when cooking even when heating on. My OH is of the 'a house should be warm enough to wear a T-shirt' brigade. I think we discussed the minefield of sharing a bed with someone with different climate control requirements before too!
Hope everyone is ok - and is warm enough, by way of heating,fire, jumpers or animal.

Liri, I have stopped growing alliums because of the squirrels.
Why don't they eat Spanish bluebells
?

I use mature or dead holly leaves/twigs.
Spanish bluebell bulbs always seem to be a very long way down ... perhaps their arms aren't long enough to reach

The grass is cut. Well.... most of it. The bottome corner was just too boggy.

Evening one and all.
