They are a lovely plant meanie, real fillers and doers.

I do like these. Well sited too as you can look up at them from the rear courtyard.

Ooh, are they the lovely burgundy shades? I've only planted Hellebores in the last couple of years and realise what I've been missing now!

5 Mar, 2013

 

They are!

I do love these spotty ones....

5 Mar, 2013

 

I shall look out for pics of them .....

I like them but mine are all looking down :-(

5 Mar, 2013

 

Me too DD!

Mine are almost at eye level Sticki, so it's kinda cheating!

5 Mar, 2013

 

that was the idea with mine as the garden slopes up ~ away from the house ~ but i still cant see their faces!

Best laid plans of mice and men and all that...............

5 Mar, 2013

 

absolutely!!! speaking of which mice are definitely in this garden ~ i wonder if its them that have eaten all the tops off the tulips?

5 Mar, 2013

 

I've just been out launching the slugs into next doors jungle!

5 Mar, 2013

 

i think i might do that too ~ im blaming you mind you, if i get caught! on the other hand as they have a buddha statue in the garden ~ surely they would prefer me to send them to their safe keeping than to put them into salt!

5 Mar, 2013

 

Seems only fair if you ask me!

5 Mar, 2013

 

most of their garden is wild! the washing is out constantly ~ so long as all the slugs dont land inside the socks or something it ought to be ok?

Gorgeous......... mine are flowering too I bought some small seedlings 10 for 99p off ebay a couple of years ago and they're flowering too several different variations of pink and burgundy bargain lol,and mine are starting to seed around, bought a couple of doubles the other week too.
Mice are driving me mad too Sticki they're in the greenhouse they keep chewing every emerging leaf from all last years daylily seedlings grrrr.

They probably call it a "nature garden" Sticki!

That was a deal Simbad! I must have pulled 99 quids worth over the last few days here as the seeds are germinating like mad.
The mice are a pain here too in the shed.............
