Sadly the two either side have been 'got at' even with protection against nasties.,and the first time it's happened in four years.More than happy with this one though :o)

Some of mine never made it through the winter. I see it as an opportunity to visit the garden center and find something new.

Thanks Amy,Carole and Neellan,for your kind comments..I am very happy with it ,and I think all the rain we have had,has helped a lot..and a few shovels of my compost :o)

Sorry to hear you have only two decent ones this year,Val,but you have one more than me ! Lol..looking back,I was quite late this year,digging in the 'slug gone' ,as I usually do it in February..but it never stopped raining ! and with the mild winter,the slugs eggs had a field day when they hatched.earlier than usual,I guess :o(.

How are you BTW ? I haven't been around of late .

Slug gone,is an organic product,Val.made from Sheeps wool,and the fibres stick to their skin..sounds lovely doesn't it? I have used it for a few years,but it was under another name,before garden centres started selling it commercially..I used to get it from a well known local Nursery in our area..it's quite expensive,but if you Google it,it will give you all the info,if you are interested..or look for it in one of your outlets..Well worth it,if you remember to dig it in at the right time ! Lol..it also acts as a Fertiliser..Sorry you have lost some of your plants too.:o(
