    :heehee:..........Well, in all honesty, you might get a gentle reminder that we do have a policy of not posting anything that is detrimental to the health of any animal, but we try not to do "rude" messages here. Hunting for food is always going to be a controversial subject:dunno:

    Well, GC Gang:love30: is a very friendly bunch of like minded Gardeners and also compassionate, generous and helpful with good advice and swapping gardening successes and failures

      Hello @Black Dog and welcome to the GC in forums
      :sign0016:
      That's a very good sunflower. I've never been to Germany or anywhere else out of the UK, haven't even got a passport also hubby hasn't got one. I've been to berrick on tweed, Weston super mare and Barry island.
      We all learn from our mistakes no matter what the subject, i still make them with gardening.

        Whoops. I better watch out what I am saying then. I remember saying some really brutal things about dealing with slugs a few hours ago :hate-shocked:

        Hopefully they get a lot less love than tiny fluffy rabbits :whistle:

                Hi @Black Dog and Welkom!

                as you can probably see, if you’ve worked out how to check the avatar on the left-hand side of the message, I’m in Belgium (central). There are quite a few of us who are on mainland Europe, as well as other interesting parts of the world, so we understand how the weather changes as you get into the larger landmass.
                I’m looking forward to seeing your garden...!

                  I actually noticed, but in your case the nick was kind of tipping me off before that ;).

                  Thanks for the kind words. I will try to show you as much as I can.
