Thankyou James. i don't have gravel paths but could try some mixed with slug pellets around the base.
i don't have many birds to keep slugs down as the seagulls tend to push out the smaller birds but we do have a few blackbirds so will have to try to encourage them to stop by for a snack.

Never heard of that jam, sounds good.
Gooseberry and elderflower jam is favourite here ... use elderflower cordial if you don't have access to elder flowers.
I've been allowed to hobble out into the garden today with my camera to see what's happening ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Definitely worth the hobble, Dove.
That's a lovely sunny hosta in the last photo.
Hi Dove,
What are those lovely White flowers in the first pic ?
Hi Papi Jo, it's Sweet Rocket ....... Hesperis matronalis alba ........ the perfume on warm evenings is wonderful.
It started as one small plant from a roadside stall in 2012

Liri ... it's Hosta 'Stained Glass' ... bought from Burncoose on one of our visits to Cornwall

Thanks Dove.
Ooh, goose and elderflower sounds good too
I've toyed with the idea getting an elderberry for my allotment...
Why are you hobbling Dove? Okay, I hope? I like your blue clematis it's fab
Some stuff from today in between minor rain showers:
This was a replant project last winter, moth zone #2
Still working on the shade border, need to cover the fence I think?
I like this unplanned combo - trying to phase out the yellow poppies, much prefer the orange
Free gift alliums and the dregs of the broom
These arranged themselves rather artistically I think
Part of moth zone #1, the hedge border
Might have over-done the alliums, if that's possible?
