Planting Bulbs and Squirrels

Unfortunately, it's not. I have found chicken wire to work, though - just be careful you don't scratch yourself with the cut ends.

Cyclamen

Mine have spread very happily under a hedge, and have also migrated to a gravel path.

Spammers

Thanks, Daniel.

Yes, Gary, I did report some of them - it does no harm to give the Mods a few pointers to them.

What's the weather like in your area?

You'd be more likely to float away in the car here than rinse it at the moment - absolutely puddling it down, and has been for 24 hours.

Spammers

No, there isn't.

Hopefully it'll be sorted tomorrow.

Cyclamen

Yes, and that includes the small ones that look like miniature houseplants currently on sale.

Corms - the bottom is the smooth side, the top has bumps or nodules on it - these are where the leaves and flowers come from.

how do i stop woodlice eating my strawberries

Woodlice only move in after something else - probably slugs - has already damaged the fruit.

To try and control slugs, you could try raising the strawberries, straw underneath the fruit, or wildlife-friendly slug pellets.

Cyclamen

Are you talking about outdoor or indoor plants?

As far as I'm aware, you can't buy tubers for indoor plants, only the plants themselves.

If you're talking about outdoor cyclamen, then these can be bought as growing plants in garden centres over the next few weeks. They can also be bought as tubers, but these can sometimes fail to thrive because they have dried out.

What's the strangest thing you have ever grown in a pot?

I once nurtured a dock....

blisters

Anything with hairs can also cause a reaction, e.g., scabious.
