Disappointed with strawberries...
or that the birds eat for me, so I don't really know how often you need to replace them - probably about three years. You do need a lot of plants to get a decent crop. To be fair to them, they do like a bit more sun than they've had this year to get their best by Zoomer44

for your help. Morning Hare. No, it's not just yours. These are mine when I took a photo yesterday. Leaves been shredded, I presume by birds and slugs, and seem to have new growth, but are so slow growing.    Mine get full sun, and are watered daily by Moonlit Hare

garden before we started our garden design 3 years ago..
of mature trees, shrubs etc and lots of wildlife and insects.  Even birds nesting in Ivy and trees.  If I can work out how to post pics I will.  It has been hard work over the years doing it on a limited budget and I can say I love my garden. Wonderful by chellie

Mowing the lawn, but not the frogs!
container that I put in my yard about 2 years ago for the birds to bath in and they love it, we get frogs and newts in the garden and the yard so I put some old rocks in the container and around it in the hope that it would attract them. I now have a frog by Tim Burr

Slugs and snails
, as it has a path running past it, I put all my young plants by the pond to harden off and none of them have been nibbled.  I'm presuming as the pond is home to frogs and newts and is visited by birds and hedgehogs, any slugs are quickly despatched I'm lucky by Harry Sinclair

Are astilbes poisonous to some insects?
to new birds and even mammals depending where you live! I have to say that I love nothing more than walking around the garden looking under the plants etc to seeing what I can spot! A quick photograph and look in my reference books or search on here by Lunarz
