  • Haven't popped out to look today, but when I looked round the garden yesterday I don't recall any holes. But we do back onto fields, so there's a good chance there is field mice about image

  • Hopefully we'll both have some come up.....I planted over 100 last year.

    That will look lovely, they multiply quickly, next year even more, I dont dead head, just let them self seed, doesnt seem to matter with them, they are as good next year so never bother.

    I planted over 160 in the grass year... I can't see any of them yet. Unfortunately 100 of those are now where the chicken run is going so I'm hoping to rescue a few before I consider buying more.

    Some already flowering in the local park. Haven't seen any in the garden but I'm not sure where I planted them image

    Mice don't eat Snowdrop bulbs, they are poisonous to them. Now crocus..........

    Only Daffs, tulips, alliums and irises then.
