When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

Delphinium 'Excalibur Dark Blue Black Bee'

Woohoo Jacqueline. I love Delphiniums. I have some in flower now from my own collected seeds, they are wonderful plants 💙💙💙

My ones from that offer are doing well too although I must admit I didn’t pot them all on and I gave quite a few to my daughter and partner for their garden. You needed a microscope to see them, they were so tiny!! 🤓🤓🤓

They were tiny weren’t they - and they arrived a day or two after I fell downstairs and badly sprained my ankle, so I feel I’ve earned these flowers 🙄😬 @pelly

😂😂😂 No such a thing as an overkill with slug barriers 😉👍 Although I found some snails stuck to my fence all over the place. They're doing parachute jumps now? 😂😂

Odd thing is, Qld has everything that crawls, jumps, slithers, bites, scratches and stings but I rarely see any slugs or snails! Don't know if there are too many big things that eat them or if the heat is too much for them. 🤔😁

You’ve got to watch them. They can definitely parachute in from taller plants Urszula 🙄 @ublaszko

I think that’s everything I’ve got in the way of prevention. Just hope I won’t need the sharpened bicycle spoke 😱 @pelly
