Second yucca

They are all lovely,Karen..I like them together ...and all your pots are great..:o)

Thanks Bloomer :)

I like the hostas but, unfortunately, so do the snails. And, even more unfortunately, the snails are loving all this wet weather...

They will be,Karen.. a thin layer of Vaseline round the bottom of pots and the rim ? Works for me,and cheaper than copper bands..:o)

Yep! I do that too, Bloomer... :))
...and sitting the pots on gravel helps a bit too...

So are most of mine too..the gravel really helps..They must think its the proverbial 'greasy spoon cafe' Lol.

I found more than twenty of them yesterday...enormous, they were!!!

Wow,,not the eating kind then ? ..not seen any snails yet..and only tiny slugs..but my organic "slug gone" product controls them well..

I also have that Yucca and I can vouch for your bloodiness!

Looks brilliant :o))

You're not kidding, Karen...I even got it in the neck...

Thanks Annie :) x

Just as well - cos it's not moving again!!!

Thank goodness they didn't go in your eyes...:) Try to stay safe today Karen! :))

It's done now, Karen...and, that's the last time I'm ever having anything to do with moving them!!

There is NO mummification worth a damn! ;

lol..you make me smile Karen :))

Such is the gardeners world, Karen! :))))

Yup! We've actually had a lovely day today...amazing! It was very cold in the am, but later on it got a bit warmer and I was out there all afternoon....in my fleece and scarf, but still a lot better than yesterday's freezing wind! Have things warmed up where you are Karen?

We've had quite nice weather since the flooding on Monday in the daytime...apart from a short, but serious, thunderstorm today...

...so, it's been cardi on - cardi off - head for shelter...

In no particular order!!

Well, good, that's quite an improvement then! :))

Think there's a big new 'front' heading in from the Atlantic!...

...yippee!!!

(though, I won't be able to wallow in it - from a garden point of view - getting visitors! lol!)

Hi Karen
I am buying a yucca soon as well and have just got my terracotta pot ready for it, will post pic once in place.
I've read a tip that says take the needle off the end with a pair of nail clippers! Apparently it won't harm the plant and should stop it from harming you! Maybe you could try it on 1-2 leaves round the back first and check! I am definitely going to try this when mine is in place on the patio!

That is a very good idea, Sarah. I will definitely try that...
I've had quite a few near misses with it having my eye out, since I added a few pots of herbs around the bottom...luckily, I've been wearing sunglasses at the time... :/

I hope it does well for you, it should do...this one was only tiny when I planted it last year! :)
