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

Lovely pics ...........I think slaters are our name for woodlice . Your garden is looking good and it is nice to have blackies visit, I have heard that snails have homing tendencies so the ones from our garden go to recycling heaven !!!!via the bin ;o)))

Yes they are :) haha recycled snails\!

Ah, woodlice. I know those. I recycle slugs and snails too Niver.
