I planted most of my dahlias in my new square border, not only have they grown up straight but there are very few slugs in that bed. Someone on the the old board suggested this and it has worked.
I think I may have had Vancouver last year but it has not yet reappeared this year I really must label them this year.
Back. jo, we're only a small village, so our local Co-Op does me fine. It's never busy. My main shop I do online, and have Asda deliver it. Solves many problems doing it that way. But I did buy cake (thanks jean!) and I finally got my garden sieve from the hardware shop next door. He's forgot to get me one in for 3 weeks now!!
And another bloomin comic £3.50!
And I see what you mean now! Dunno whether I could teach. I have a bit of patience, but then quickly lose it if I get someone who is really, really thick. My mouth tends to run amock, and then I'm in trouble.
I have to work wth someone really really thick - and he's got a 'personal hygiene' problem on top of that. And its especially bad in warm weather.....my exchanges with him tend to be extremely brief! Very difficult as sometimes it takes 3 goes to explain something. Sometimes I just give up!
Adult education perhaps? That's why I suggested voluntary side. That way you could find out your unknown likes & dislikes before committing yourself.
I know what you mean about someone being really thick. Have had to deal in past with high flying parents of not so bright, but lovely & good at something, kids. Felt sorry for the little ones, the pressure they would be under.
BTW I routinely nurture rosebay willow herb seedlings every year. Also discovered that what I thought were self sown birdseed droppings were actually annual mallow plants!! Doh! Wondered where had put them. Havent pulled them all out.
Right, have been a real slob today. Hoovering of downstairs awaits & sorting of things to do. Then it's teatime, not sure what to do with the fish tonight, as only veg got is frozen & potatoes! Then to get organised for w/end. J.
I am of the opinion that you can explain something twice happily, the third time becomes a burden and after that then they will never get it and you are wasting your time
I have a plant in the front that I don't recognise and it could be a weed -won't know till it flowers-we all door have done silly things in gardening
Ha ha ha. Thanks Lottie. It has now been thrown under our tree since it's real identity was discovered. It is still growing.
Geoff, this one is Cbeebies 'Art Attack' comic, which came with a bag full of foam shapes, eyes, ears, noses and mouths to make dinosaurs with. Which she is happily making at the moment. She loves arty stuff.
Nettles good for wildlife Becks. Butterflies, cant remember which ones, need for food plant for their caterpillars.
Am going to kill that 'b' hoover. Despite washing the filters etc it's still leaving dust trails everywhere from beater when use the tools. Never mind only in here to do now. J.
I've occasionally seen posts on here from people asking where they can buy nettle seeds - you've found some. I have two pots of nettles myself. Well done.
I planted most of my dahlias in my new square border, not only have they grown up straight but there are very few slugs in that bed. Someone on the the old board suggested this and it has worked...
I've also read that slugs lay their eggs at the bases of plants where they have been eating. So the baby slugs will be able to find food easily, and fatten themselves up nicely. So planting susceptible plants away from areas that have been infected by slugs will prevent slug damage.

I felt such a fool Kate. Had hardened it off and everything ! Even put it on Jess's website!

What is this comic?
Becks, forgot to say, nice nettle! Just tell people you are cultivating it to test the soil or make nettle tea with!
