My Living Fence

What a perfect example! How do you get it so dense?

It's been there a long time, and I clip off the straggly bits and tie in the long shoots. We extended the fence upwards to mask next door's shed roof, another one!

Bee feast! Never seen one as heavy with blossom.

I have similar here ... but now it's turned that manky looking brown ... :o(

Oh...it does that does it Shirley......just think of the berries though! :) I walked past some today..they really are alive with bees aren’t they.

Blackbirds will be well fed in the Autumn ... I saw many Bees in the garden today ... even saw a couple of Ladybirds ... :o)

Yes Shirley, I've red beetles, Lily beetles on my Lilies!

Siris, that's why I no longer grow Lilies, dratted critters!

I gave up on Lilies, several years ago, but forgot what a nuisance/mess those Beetles make, and have got more now.

More Lilies or more Beetles or both?!!!

By choice more Lilies, and hence more Beetles. They used to attack my Fritillaries, but left those in preference to the Lilies.
