What's Looking Good In June 2013

Mines the frilly variety - keep trying to catch the little devils that's munching on them

 

Thanks Armandii- at least the snails don't get to the hostas in the pots.

 

I've been out with the torch nearly every night for 2 weeks - haven't found one. Think they wait for the bedroom light to go on - I'll have to fool them and come down again or

.

 

Beer traps

 

Most likely ... but she's dead canny, our GA ... in the morning she'd wake you and put the pair of you on slug patrol to earn your 'keep'

See? Told you beer traps work (one way or another )

 

I shall hunt down some Aquilegia seeds

What do I do, just scatter them in the borders?

 

I wrap copper tape around any of my pots that have something in them that might be a potential lunch for Mr Snail and it works a treat

I also have two other hostas in the ground, one has been munched on quite badly but the other hasn't been touched

 

At last....my first Poppy to flower this year....i thought it was never going to happen....every other year it has bloomed around the 14th of May....so better late than never

 

Thank you Shiney

 

Certainly my gaden is a bit like buses, nothing and then loads altogether this season.Couldn't resist a photo of 1 of my big red Poppies too Lolimac. So often they are ruined by wind/rain, both! but not this year. Very brief show but still lovely.

 

Merle, pm me your address and i will send you some,,there`s always loads in the parcel and mine are all setting seed now so easily replaced.

 

Aaaaw thanks GA I'll remember to collect some for the autumn seed parcel, especially from the lovely frilly one, I scattered some seed from it last year and quite a few are starting to flower and look just like their Mum.
