GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a wee smile to myself this morning - my 'daft' neighbour planted herself some winter flowering pansies the other day - I think she has used around 2 bottles of slug pellets around 6 plants. I'm hoping she will attract all mine, is that so wrong...lol!!

Beautiful. They always die in my garden too Olive, even in the damp. Maybe tender or clay haters. Lost L Tupa too :(
