oh i used to be one of those people that got bit by anything and everything.. nightmre as half garden is shaded and gets lots of little biting insect... but since i hve been taking garlic and vitaminb caps.. i dont get bitten. so lovely to be out and not end up covered in bites by end of the night.

oh and great info on the butts problems.. i have added oil to mine to day and will see how it goes.

i am mostly cottage gardener.. but some times my need to be clean and tidy and smart sharpe lines takes over.. but not for long i love my plants cramme din so no weeding to do and colour all year round if i can get it....

trying to load up some new pics of garden but the usual problem of camera and computer not talking to each other again is going on.. will wait for them to get off it and try again later

i love looking at other peoples gardens.. not only are they gorgeous to look at but they also give me ideas.. for mine! lilylouise your garden is a show of love and dedication and cant wait for this years video.. makes sure you start a thread with it so i dont miss it

@flobear.. well not so sure about the snow.. it killed rather alot of my plants off! it is beautiful but i dont mind if we dont have any.. the last few years is the first time we have really had snow down on the island..so got used to never getting any.
