    No GW!!!! Gutted, I enjoy my weekly fix of Monty & Co!

    Happy Anniversary Excitable Boy, have a great night out.

    Kate, I managed to get 3 hours out in the garden.....bliss, even thought it was mass clearing, still loads more to go but its nice to see a weed free areaimage

    A question to all, I have some hostas to plant out and have a perfect spot for them, what does everyone use for slug problems? I dont want to use anything chemical as we have 2 dogs. All tips gratefully received x

    GW being usurped by snooker truly is criminal.

    I've managed to get a bit of planting done in between downpours - got some delphiniums and brunnera planted in our front garden. I've got some digitalis, saxifrage and hostas sitting in pots waiting to go out in the back, but we're suffering something of a fencing issue and I'm holding off on planting anything in the bed next to it until it's fixed. My sweet peas are in and I've got nasturtiums coming up in a few places, as well as my fine selection of pound shop bulbs image

    Not sure how the veg bed is doing - it got fairly seriously waterlogged. There's some beetroot, sprouts and psb coming up, and potatoes starting to sprout.

    This is the first year I've had a garden, so all pretty exciting! image

    I mulch mine with piles and piles of grit so that the leaves don't touch any soil EVER EVER. image increasing the circles of grit as they grow.

    I'm also going to use the Garlic solution once the rain stops image

    Woo2 I have beer traps but I am a night prowler with a salt pot and a torch.

    Rob I have some pound shop irises that are going great guns just hope that they flower.
