Train Station Gardens

Posted: 01/11/2012 at 16:08

it looks great and that bike is something else,,do you think the rail people would be interested in a kind of competition for station gardeners, they might help with the flower supplying or something, anything to help maybe tools as prizes whateve,r with  the prices  we all pay for tickets ,I'm sure they can afford it , and they would probably be glad to help all good  PR stuff, i know you dont do it for gain but it all helps .

Good luck Alan

Clematis montana problem

Posted: 30/10/2012 at 16:03

in one raised herb bed last week i removed 57 assorted slugs of every kind, understanding that lots off wildlife is now kipping  i went into the hedghog info on the net only to find hedghogs only eat slugs if they are starving,cant say i blame them for that ? but if thats the case do birds actually eat slugs as slugs cant move very fast they are so easy for the birds to catch but i hav,nt seen this ,Snails yes most deffinatly ,the birds up the allotment actually wait for me to throw them the snails i remove from the beds, slugs im not sure ? so what do slugs actually do ,they must have a reason to be there i suppose, wish i new what  and valentines day now has altogether a new meaning to me

good luck all Alan4711
