General Gardening Discussion

I think that where mine ones come from Steve. I tend to be a bit of an untidy gardener, for these days anyway, but I think it pays off to leave a few undisturbed logs or, dare I say it, rubbish laying around as it attracts all sorts of wildlife. :D

Bayleaf, thanks I didn't realise that hespris was sweet rocket (dames violet)a strewing herb as a recall - one of my favourites, or at least the white one is - and silene is campion duh, I really must try and remember the botanical names - but very few stay in the little grey cells, the common...
