hi andyleeds been out to back garden to feed dog found the biggest slugs I have seen for a long time in side of box lucky that her dog food is inside another box inside big one the outside of her big box has copper tape all the outside and the inside has cardboard on floor covered with pellets our local doves enjoyed them then a few to the woodie all happy michael
I'm in catching up suffering from white knuckle and exhaustion. I'm afraid there was a bit more non BBC language and a temper tantrum at the b****y strimmer again. It's a big monster and I love it but that piggin string does my head!
Plant pauper. I'd rather be on my hands and knees with shears than use a strimmer!
OH has gone off for another weekend playing trains so I've defaulted to gardening mode. (even though there's 101 other things I should be doing). Have just spent 2 hours in front garden where I (at last) planted an astilbe and hellebore that have been in my 'plants waiting to be planted' area for some time. Also did some weeding. Something in the willow herb family I think. I am determined not to let them go to seed this year!
I am now having a rest with a cappuccino and dark chocolate Kitkat. I need to get back out there preparing for tomato planting before those thundery showers come.
I just did an area of about 15mx15m so hands and knees is not an option Marygold.
Some of my garden is what you might call....rustic! You might also call it neglected, abandonded, overgrown.... I'm working my way out from the house one petrol tank at a time and the bit I'm working on now hasn't been touched in the two years since I moved in because it was so overgrown. You can't even imagine how bad it is now. As I was strimming I was visualising how to attach the brush cutter for the next bit.
Dug over what I weeded this morning,worn out,start making the dinner, walk the dogs then do some watering.Sat down at 7pm,watched super vet then EastEnders.

Been drizzling pretty much nonstop since last night but lovely patterns of raindrops on some plants - and the resin frogs look happy!!
Gardener has given up the ghost for the day though!
