          Meant to add I have ordered slug nematodes for veg patch. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow. They have been very effective over last 2 years:)
          Tempted by another edgeworthia ......mine performed quite well over the winter. Nice plant for the darkest months :)

            It's not about spoilsport Verdun :phew:...we both know who will come up trumps :heehee:

            We get some slugs here...in the past they've eaten plant leaves away, even some nice cabbage plants i had in the front garden they destroyed :dunno:

              Got the lamb wool pellets, must remember to order the nematodes. Noticed the little buggers on my Thalia Daff buds and petals in broad daylight the other day, what a cheek they've got eh?!

                    Asda were selling Scabious, Bleeding heart and Erysimum Bowles Mauve all for £3 each, all nice, good sized plants too, so we've bought some of each for our front garden.
