s it possible to to exchange seeds between Dutch, English and Scottish gardener

Within the EU you can send seeds with no problems. If personally taken you can take plants - I have taken plants back from hols no problem.

I have also taken seeds back from Africa and the US to the UK and no one cares. Some states in the US do control what you bring in.

So to answer the question, there is no issue in sending seeds/bulbs etc from Nederlands to the UK/Schottland.

I always used to think LOL meant lots of love and not laughing out loud.

underground slugs

Agree with Dove, we need to knoe more about these 'slugs'

Is my newly planted Quercus Ilex dying?

@Marc Assis - Quercus ilex /Holm Oak do well in moist soil. They are tolerant of drought when the root system is developed (2 years after planting). So my suggestion is to keep them well watered for the first few years.

All I want for Christmas is...

Warmer weather and for it not to rain so much
Summer house (to sit out in summer and for my tropical plants in winter)
Some tall Bamboo
Everyone to have a happy Christmas

They look a bit like slug/snail eggs but those are usually white in small numbers and hidden-did this suddenly appear overnight?

Are you sure they are eggs-what happens when you squeeze one and how big are they?-the picture might be deceiving?

They look NOTHING like snail or slug eggs. Slug eggs are much, much smaller, yellowish tinge and clear. The pic is large, solid silver man-made things.

I did say a bit like,a different colour,usually hidden and the picture might be deceiving,how big are they and what happens when you squeeze one-so sorry- but dont get the point your making???

Dude, they look nothing like slug eggs, there is no comparison. Nothing wrong in being wrong but do not post stupid answers that do not help and make people question your knowledge.

I would avoid the Peonies...the roots sent to me from T&M earlier this year came to nothing  for me and I am good at salvaging plants.

shredded pansies

Shredded would make me think Slugs...slugs are the main enemy of Pansies from my experience. Birds might be going after greenfly or other insects I suppose. Not seen Caterpillers on Pansies but Moth caterpillers are still a pain at the moment so are a possiblity but they tend to eat and not shred!

Cutting wet lawns?

A general note, if you want to cut wet grass, then spray the undersides of a mower with spray with WD40 lubricant. That stops it clogging up and makes it easy to clean afterwards.
