There are so many feral areas too, which look a mess but I am not prepared to use poisonous chemicals on. At least I have now hidden the worse offender for weeds! Glad the boys had a little outing, but trust them to utilise the freshly-turned earth!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-6755425033237949462015-11-16T15:40:05.343-08:002015-11-16T15:40:05.343-08:00I can so relate to this post having spent part of ...I can so relate to this post having spent part of a second day trying to tidy the garden [what passed for a garden this year!] and plant out the rest of the very prolific foxglove and lavender seedlings. <br />J. allowed Nellie-cat and Bobby Mac an outing at noon--you'd think they'd been saving up on the off chance of going outside as my freshly turned earth was immediately utilized for their worst efforts.<br />I wonder why Elephant Garlic is not more readily available either from seed/plant nurseries or in the grocery stores.

The only reason that I do not anchor it down better is that it will then tear, it is purely to keep the cats off and to stop the birds ransacking it. I looked at those<br />polytunnels but decided that it is just too windy in my garden.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-56478309941302642852015-11-15T14:52:50.684-08:002015-11-15T14:52:50.684-08:00that tunnel wants to get away, perhaps just take t...that tunnel wants to get away, perhaps just take the cover off it and leave the frame up, we got garlic in the other week thank goodness, its blowing a hooly up here again, Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
