One persons weeds....

we had a lovely stretch of Lilly of the valley, destroyed by chickens without any obvious side impact. I wasn't eating eggs by then (they literally eat everything which really puts you off) but nobody else seemed to suffer.

Periwinkle was my most hated weed (vinca major/minor) a few years back. I can't believe people buy it etc....

Mr SA must be feeling rough because he’s gone to bed and not touched his beer leftover from the weekend. 

On the plus side I have the remote 🥳 🤣

@Sun_Addict - From my experience of living with Mr F, I do concur with you that ignoring beer & relinquishing the remote are indeed signs of feeling truly lergyfied.

Oh dear, I hope he is ok. We are fairly local and all have a snotty cold that may be doing the rounds.

Also found out at the garden centre/nursery that the plant that loves my garden a bit too much is called alchemilla. It’s everywhere, definitely didn’t plant it so must be a gift from the birds. Can’t believe they were selling it. The woman in the shop said you can divide it, no thanks because it’s already everywhere 😆

Still miffed about not having poppies in my garden because they’re growing out of cracks in the pavements locally but won’t grow in my garden, I even sowed seeds but nothing happened - I want poppies 🙁

Yes! I agree. I see gardens with gorgeous poppies that come up every year. I've tried from seed and also from pinching some from my sisters gravel drive, but no success. I want poppies too!!!!!

I found this: https://www.rspb.org.uk/get-involved/activities/nature-on-your-doorstep/garden-activities/planting-poppy-seeds/

It makes it all sound so simple 😆

They only grow in the veg plot here (where I don't want them) and not the full sun borders. They clearly need to read some articles. I love the red ones in wild flower plantings at the side of roads.

I have poppies growing in a trough in my front garden. I don't remember ever planting them though and we bought the trough so I know it would have only been us. The birds must have pinched some.seeds. x
