hi buzzy-lizzie, i think hawthorne would be a great idea, i should have thought of it myself, right by my house we had an overgrown site that used to be a convent it was full of hawthorn and many other bushes and trees, it was full of birds which would feed in my garden, they have recently ripped it all out to build 2 blocks of flats, so we have lost a lot of the birds, so planting things like hawthorn will hopefully encourage them back, so thanks for your idea

never heard of them, will look them up, thanks verdun, will the birds like them?

thanks again, i need to dig one out, its in the wrong place, i have put buddjlea buzz around the garden for the butterflies, i would like to put a berry bush in its place, (part shade) any suggestions, thanks

foxgloves

i cant wait to see them in flower, i know this seems silly, i have always loved them, but only found out this year what they where called, i grew the round leaf one's from seed and the pointed leaf one's from TM

foxgloves

hi everyone, i hope this isnt a silly question, i planted some foxgloves in september, i dont know what type they are, but they have long pointed leaves and the slugs loved them, but i managed to save them (out at night with a torch ha ha) my question is, they have new shoots coming from the middle that look nice and healthy, but the ouside leaves are lying on the soil and dont look verry happy, they look like they are rotting, do i cut them off or leave them, i have always wanted to grow foxgloves, i would hate to loose them, i also have the other type with more rounded leaves, they seem fine, any advice would be appreciated, thanks
