What did you do in your garden today?

Put plastic hoods over my hanging baskets so they don't get soaked, planted another basket with million bells, scattered californian poppies on a spare bit of bed and in gaps inbetween plants. Strangely, the promised rain hasn't come yet.

Because Frank/Dad-they are all useless. No one has any common sense at these companies and they don't give a flying toss either.

That's because they've all got a degree but no common sense!!!

seedling help?

Hi Lisa, sorry you were lectured, it was unnecessary, but maybe LG just got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning!

Another thing you can plant now, i.e. as soon as the night temperature is regularly above 10°C, are french beans and runner beans. They can be frozen too, so could keep you going over the winter.

Have fun trying everything out and don't hesitate to ask again if need be, most of us are quite friendly.

Good Evening FORKERS

Nothing much done today, planted some gazania plugs out and moved a few tomato pots into the sun. Am catching up on all the posts and looking up all the plants you all mention with latin names for ideas for next year. Watching a repeat of Saturdays BGT on the side.

Are these leopard slugs?

Regardless of what type of slug it is, it will eat your plants, so kill it!

Bet you can't do me! North of Périgueux, Dordogne  

Me either, I'm in central Switzerland!

Can anyone tell me what this is please?

Looks like Virginia Creeper to me.

Ideas for a strawberry planter

How about some herbs, parsley, chives, basil, mint, oregano etc., etc. Google herbs in pots. Or violas, they bloom for ages.

Unusual request

What about using curtain rails to slide the panes into:
