They usually get covered in black aphids. Or in my case last year, cabbage white caterpillars. my whole garden with the exception of one border, is all a GofS.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Been away from the GoS a while, not doing much obvs! Do we have to reapply if we were members once? I see some participants gave up their slovenly ways during lockdown. Not me. Look what I did ... or didn't do! This is my front garden with a well-sited, abandoned heap of topsoil that prevents the "lawn" being mowed (phew!). That really IS the spade I use - if I have to! Note the dodgy handle facing the wrong way it needed screwing back in, in about 1985 but nobody could be bothered.
Speaking of carpets, this one will come in right handy one day and so will the two lines of picket fence leaning nonchallently against the privet - reminds me, must get the trimmers out ...
