Welcome from me also.

Planted some bare rooted roses rather late in the year. Problem is, our friendly fox keeps digging around the roots for worms. Have tries ground up cooked egg shells. No luck. Weak solution of Jeyes liquid, no luck. Even lime sprinkled around them. No luck. Don't really want to go out and buy nettin...

Late Father would dig it up every few years, leave it on the soil to get a few frosts at it. Then chop off the outside layers. Replant. The inner bit went on the dung heap.

Sweet Peas have been an absolute flop this year, only about 2ft tall.

Funny Alan, I also have one.

My late father always said, we could chuck him on the dung- heap when he went. Though Mum wouldn't let us carry out his wishes.

HELP.Mason Bee cocoons. Had the same supplier for some four or more years now. For some reason, i have not heard from them this year. And for the life of me I cant remember their name. [senile decay ? ]

That's OK then.
