Found some slaters and snails ( didnt take pics of snails..they got lobbed over into fatboys garden!) Mr blackbird came to visit. And just a couple of other things.
Wanted to know..in last pic next to Lamb’s ears..what the plant is? I thought they were both Lamb’s ears but the other one has a hint of a yellow flower coming..no idea where it came from or waht it is.

It's all looking very pretty, Pixi, especially the pond. What are slaters - haven't heard of them? Can't spot it, but isn't there a verbascum with greyish, woolly leaves and yellow flowers? Could it be that?

Lovely pics Pixi, I have loads of blackbirds here at the moment and they are getting very brave and looking in the windows, think its their way of telling me they need a bite to eat, they are a great fav of mine...

I've been putting snails in the council gardening waste bin and throwing loads of gardening stuff on top of them. The next time I go into the bin, all the snails are on the bin lid. How do they know this is the way out! lol
