    Very impressive as Paladin says - it must keep you very busy.

    May I just draw your attention to the Global Announcement that Daisees has put at
    the top of each forum requesting that members do not post large photos that activate the bottom scrollbar.
    It would be appreciated if you would reduce the size of your photographs but if you have any problems
    with this we will be happy to do it for you.


    P.S. Also the photographs of your back garden in the other thread should be down-sized please.

    Morning everyone.Well after a day of rain yesterday that started just as we got indoors from grocery shoppingthe sun is shining and it looks like it is going to be a ovely day.Hopefully my water butt will be back up to the top now.

    Cookie I put all my slugs and snails into my recycling bin.I have a hedgehog that comes round to my garden every night and he doesn't touch them.When I rescued two baby hedeghogs where we used to live {Holly & Ivy} not once did they ever want to eat the slugs I put into a bowl for them.Don't know whether it was the slime that put them off but they always preffered the dog and cat food that i fed them on.:eek:

    Anyway,as it is a lovley day and I have finished on here and answering emails I am going off to get things done as it is such a beautiful day out there.:thumb:

    Good morning everyone,
    It is a beautiful sunny day here :thumb:. I hope all of you get the same.

    Re slugs: when we were on our holiday in Dorset one of the beautiful gardens we visited had no sign of slug damage at all. I asked the head gardener how they managed it and he said that they didn't need to do anything as the ducks form their big pond ate all the slugs. As I don't have any ducks how can I train my pheasants to go for the slugs? :D :D
