    Hi all

    Another busy gardening weekend :dancy:

    My hostas are sprouting nicely, tried looking for the recipe for the garlic spray to try out this year as its meant to deter the slugs and snails plus (any one have on here) dont want to use any slug pellets due to my hedgehog that has made its home in the bottom of my bamboo and its a real character as he is not bothered when he sees me he even came over to check my flip flops out with my huge feet inside them.
    He comes out about 8.00pm on the dot so has a starter of dog food (tinned meat) then off he goes he was quite small coming out of hiberation but looking bigger every week.
