Thank you for your comments.

Slugs and Snails

What is a cheap way of getting rid of Slugs and Snail. (l do find many Snails have been eaten) l have tried most things.

dirty nails

l have used this method for years l put old pieces of soap in a jar and use that.

Sparrow

l found this baby sparrow in my back garden in 2011, it had white tips to its wings, it could not fly, as my garden is enclosed we hoped it would survive, it did we put out food for it and it would come to eat three or four times a day, we did not try to interfere with it,then it tried to fly it would climb up a trellis and  drop off this did not work as it was the wrong way round, it soon learned how to climb up and turn around and it began to fly in small hops, all this time we saw no other sparrows plenty of other birds though,then after about a  week a sparrow came to it but flew off, then other sparrows, came to the garden, the last we saw of it it was flying about, l do hope it survived as it was so unusual with its white on its wings.

Heuchera's

l never cut my penstemons till all the frost has gone then l cut them right back. l live in a very cold area in the west-mids and sometimes lose them, the very hardy ones live.

but l go to garden centre's and buy any they are selling off l usually end up with some lovely plants but l must admit l have very green fingers, l took four cuttings from a old deep red rose in a garden that the house was up for sale three of them survive they have the most beautiful scent, also a yellow one from spare ground it is a lovely plant very tall plant, the originals were disposed of.
