Nothing has been happening much in the garden, due to all the rain. But the grass is long, but I have been unable to try my new grass strimmer. Mind you I have noticed that quite a few gardens have got long grass.
Doing the snails and slugs dance again, where they all come from I do not know. My sister h the same problems. But I do not do what a lot of people do and throw snails over their walls ,hedges into their neighbours gardens. I know to a lot of people they are right proper pains, hit I just cannot do it to them.
The honeysuckle has done well again, but I am going to be ruthless and prune it when the time comes as it really needs a prune.
The elderberry is in flower, but not so many flowers this time. Mind you it can be dugged up, to be honest I am going to get rid of everything in the garden and start all over again. Apart from the apple tree.
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Slugs,snails& worms
I am to blame for all this rain! I only want to try out my new strimmer, the days which we didn't have rain , I had to do something else. But still that is the weather for you.
The garden doesn't look to bad at the moment, so I am not worrying to much. The only problem it brings out the slugs and snails out, so when you go up the garden path you have to do the slugs and snails dance. I must admit I am not very keen on them but I would not hurt them, I don't even put slug pellets. And I am not to keen on worms, but they are welcomed in my garden. One day I will get over the phobia of slugs, snails and worms, I am not as bad as I used to be.

Gardens allotments and foxes.
Been busy helping a friend with their garden. They have made a little allotment right down the bottom of their garden.they have got potatoes, runner and broad beans, peas strawberries, figs, grapes, spring onions, leeks pumpkins, radishes, growing. Their plum tree looks like it will have plenty of plums this year and the apple tree.
My garden looks sorry for itself, but I have started to sort it, it will take time, hopefully it will be good weather this weekend so I can get out there and do more.
The other morning a fox and her cub paid me a visits and very lovely too. I am sure I said this before and I will say again I love foxes. They do me no harm and I will do them no harm.
