It is called CATWatch, it's advertised in GW from www.conceptresearch.co.uk. You can run it plugged in or off battery, it's a good idea to move them around from time to time. Only downside is young children can hear it.
@Wilderbeast , I had a problem with cats 🐈 , personally I like cats but don’t like them crapping in my garden , somebody suggested putting dried teasel where they go , I’m pleased to say it worked for me My wildlife camera 🎥 still picks up lots of cats but they no longer use it as a toilet
Not sad at all @Yviestevie Planted double hellebore and hardy geranium "Sirak", potted up dahlias from Peter Nyssen. Trimmed back shrubby salvia "Midnight" that has been sitting in a pot all Winter, and tied in clematis. Tided up greenhouse, moved pots of bulbs that have gone over out to the back. After a chilly grey start it turned into a warm and sunny afternoon.
More patio grouting today 🙄. I also did some pruning. I had a dwarf conifer which was on the possible cull list, so I’ve done a crown-lift to let more light in to the rockery behind - looks ok!
@Allotment Boy and @GWRS thanks for the advice I'm looking into the catwatch thing, in the short term I have invested in a roll of scaffolding net that spans the width of the beds and have used that to keep out the cats.
In the last couple of days I've planted more pheasant grass, I divided 1 clump last year and have 30 really good strong plants going into the garden this year. More heuchera gone out. Divided 2 big clumps of monarda and flox. Went round weeding out centaura Montana seedlings which have spread everywhere and are now just showing up. Unwrapped the Musa basjoo it's looking really good and has 8 strong shoots which I'm hoping to slice off and move once they've got growing again. Had a proper tidy up of rubbish while I had a skip, I'm always surprised how many piles of rubbish I build up as projects are underway.
Bought and planted Rhubarb Victoria and Rhododendron Steel Blue. I also planted a couple of large lupins that had been growing in pots for the past couple of years. Still have two large delphiniums to get in the ground but Lord knows where I'll put them. Lots of seeds have germinated. Yay!!!
I too have a delphinium sat in the greenhouse waiting to go in the ground @Yviestevie , keep looking and wondering if its still too cold for it and the salvias.
@GWRS that's good to hear about the 🦔🦔 I too have two living in the garden.
