    How do you tell a tic from a small spider?

    I presume it was a slimey one. :biggrin:If the dog or cat is up to date with the spot on treatment the ticks should just fall off. I don't think all spot ons kill ticks though.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Sowed some chillies as the ones that we hoped would survive overwintering without the greenhouse didn't quite make it. :sad: Five months outside was a bit too much for them.

    Hardy fuchsia?

    Definitely mild and very sheltered in that particular spot too, thanks to the porch and the camelia. I am now pondering a dual level planter... scheming, I think is the best description.
