Perki, I love the Asters & Rudbeckia combo, how do you manage the predatory slugs? I'm also on the look out for some Agastache Black Adder and perhaps Summer Skies.
Flower in the rain, is the tree shaped shrub a Lavatera? Absolutely beautiful.
Hi everyone, not sure how these will come out as they look tiny. I'm loving seeing all the other lovely gardens and have been looking back at my photos as it seems hard to believe it will once again look like this. Roll on April ......
Mark56 - I've been using slug gone wool pellets, they do work for a while but break down in 10 weeks or so , It is expensive and the bag doesn't go very far either. I do try the organic slug pellets but I am not overly sure they work. The slugs dont attack my aster monch frikartii.
Ahh yes, I remember using those in the Spring for my Hosta - seemed to work quite well, until I caught them stretching from the hydrangea stems to reach it out of ground level Like you, I've got too large of a space to spread nematodes thoroughly. Perfect, I have a 9cm pot of Frikartii on my window sill.
Thanks Dove and Perki. It was the pond that Gardeners' World (Carol Klein) helped us with the year before last, so it was on TV briefly! We were/are novice Gardeners, but still very keen.
I remember that episode Salvia. your garden does look beautiful and its nice to see the pond settled in after seeing it on Gardeners world. Thanks for sharing your pictures

Salvia, what a lovely garden
and I am very envious of your pond - ours is very small.
