An earth-bouquet for our dear Mums!
In advance, Happy Mother's Day!
Made up our hanging baskets this year - with saplings of trailing geranium and sweet peas. That was rather easy - have I missed a trick? We'll see!
Woke up this morning wondering whether the slugs had made a meal of our achillea. Looks like all the frilly leaves are intact. Found a few slugs nested comfortably under the achillea pots earlier in the week and tipped them over the wall onto an unused road behind our backyard. We think this is a sort of win-win method to remove slugs. If they can climb over the walls to reach our plants again, then they have probably earned the treat!
We are in need of a bird bath to replace the earlier one. Temporarily, decided to place a bucket near the bird feeders with a couple of bricks propped in the water to form a ramp for birds that want a drink. A couple of days later there were a cluster of snail eggs in the water, that probably made the journey into the bucket along with the bricks. Intrigued and alarmed at the same time, left them to see what happens. Now there are fewer eggs. Snacked on by a pigeon that stopped by I imagine.
