Molluscs, don't forget about the molluscs!
I can guarantee that every time I grow them from seed, they attract the biggest, slimiest, most orangeyist(if its not a real word, it should be)slugs this side of the channel

Yeah forgot about that....we don't suffer with snails and slugs too much...my Cardoons are right next to a large delphinium bed and they don't get touched

My missus and I bought a couple of Petunia Tumbelina Priscilla's yesterday from Racecourse garden centre. As it was raining I put off digging them into my Cotswold Stone Container until lunchtime today.
They were covered in snails and slugs.
Proper question - how did these slimy buggers know that I was going to leave them out overnight????

My Wife loves the flowers on the patch of land were the A23 meets the pier round-a-bout. Found them at Wyevales, £35 a time. Bought her some managers specials at £3, look just as colourful.

Put a small beer trap out for the slimy buggers :thumbsup:
That's if you have any left, beer that is.

That's because they're all in my garden. I go out into my little garden and get hold of slugs and snails to kill them off, but the next evening, another hundred* or so have moved in.


*I might be exaggerating very slightly.

I don't think jevs thinks it was a serious question :moo:
Still, he's never responded to any of my posts to him despite me frequenting his patch long before he got there :hilton:

Oh well, I get that too sometimes, but who cares :cool:
Our allotment is slug free a mo, fingers x

If you mean the blue and white Agapanthus bed by the Albion Hotel, that is one of my efforts. You will see this scheme all over Brighton and Hove. I did my best whilst I had the position at work to florally "Blue & White-up" my home town! Lewes Road in April at Moulscoombe has also had the Albion colours treatment.
