Finished Planting New Bed Today
"Reminds me of an old saying... "Gardeners are the most optimistic people on the planet - who else at age 90 would plant a small tree seedling and worry about what would have to be transplanted once the tree begins to shade it" :)"

You must not have geckos, because you have spiders. Our little, and not so little, geckos keep our spider population to a minimum. I haven't seen a black widow spider in nearly a decade, and that is about when…"
"William you stay safe! We had a nasty wind kick up again today. I saw about your bees and worms in the other thread was going to tell you that you sounded like a new pa pa. Hope they do well for you."

IRIS... THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL INSPIRING PICS ON GARDEN-SHARE...HAPPY GARDENING !
Iris.....do ye have as much rain up there in Kells as we have down here in Cork??
If you don't..I have barrels full for free, you just have to pay for shipping....LOL!
Hello Iris....
I am not too well up on flowers, but I guess sweetpea are similar to veggie peas. If you cannot use slug pellets, you can use broken eggshells which I mix with human hair cuttings.The slugs would stick to the hair. I used this around my peas and did not see any slugs. There are also beer traps....sink the cut off bottom of a plastic soda bottle and fill with any beer.Bury them to ground level around your sweetpeas and slugs will drown happy..LOL!
Hello and Welcome to Garden-Share, Iris.
I live in Cork!
Kind Regards,
Catherine.
