I can only do so much in the garden before my back gives way. If I take a sit for fifteen minutes or so then my back is fine, but that's all the time a cat needs to take advantage of newly dug soil. I made some dreadful threats, but all the local cats know that I am a complete soft touch. I managed to get some winter pansies planted. Normally I would think this is the right time of year, but at the moment it feels so much later.
I forgot to take a photo, but the garden isn't in good shape. A lot of things need tidying up and sorting out. I don't plan to prune back too drastically as I don't mind leaving some places for creepy crawlies to stay but I've got sweet peas growing up my washing line.
I've put down organic slug pellets. I may have sprinkled them rather thicker than the suggestion on the packet, but the slugs round here are feral. They hunt in packs. You can't move for the slimy munchers. I don't know how well it will do but any reduction will be welcome.
Take care of your back! I bent down just to reach for something and ending up pulling it. Ouch. Put me out for a few days.
ReplyDeleteMy garden is a mess too. I always have such good intentions but they never make it to more than that.
