A dwarf Delphinium - it is a hardy perennial, but the snails love its new shoots, so I rarely manage to keep it for a second year.

God has given me the gift of two hedgehogs and my hostas this year grew masses of leaves..whole ones! And the alstroemerias are doing okay too, all except my pink one which has been nibbled to bits. Trouble is now I have hedgehogs I cant use slug pellets, so will try beer..which luckily I dont like. If you see any drunken hedgehogs around, they are mine.....

Wish I had hedgehogs - I don't know why they're not in my garden, being so rural. If I used beer, I'd have a drunk Lab!!!!! LOL.

Oh my! I can just imagine hee hee hee..I once had a drunk jack russell but a Lab..
13 Sep, 2010
He'd roll on my plants, and you try lifting 32 kilos of dog! LOL.
