Gardening on a small plot with an oak tree in one corner and trying to encourage more wildlife. Love visiting gardens and buying plants too!

First time in the garden for weeks, spent a pleasant hour just tidying. Lots of bulbs coming up but nothing out yet, though the hellebores are looking pretty. Enjoy your day 💮

@lilybee hi sue do you know if those lenses are alright what you attach to a smart phone?. Just saw your message to Barbara 🤔

Hi Gwennie, in my message to Barbara I was talking about my wildlife camera, also called trail cameras, there are lots on Amazon, mine was about £50 a few years ago. I also have the little lenses that you can attach to your smartphone, I think I only paid about £10 for 3 different ones again from Amazon and they're not bad for the price, although if you have a phone case you may have to take it off to get the lenses to attach. Hope this helps 🙂 @gwenniemom

I think this Hellebore is taking the #staystrong message to heart - still going after 16 weeks and there's even another bud on it 😍. Enjoy your day everyone.

That's beautiful Sue 😊😊💕💕@lilybee You know when you kindly warned me about the Euphorbia plant I bought? I'm going to have to dispose of it. I think Lucy pup has been close to it. In fact I think she dug it up the day after I planted it. She sat with me this morning and when I got up my gardening trousers were wet through. She's fine in herself but there are lots of dribbles 😳dangerous plant. I'll post it up to warn others. Thank you so much for the warning otherwise I might never have

They are lovely aren't they Jane. I have a couple in one bed but thinking about dotting a couple more round the garden. Ange last year they flowered from now until about April so well worth having I think. @anges @pelly

Yes definitely, I have pink/purple ones but not white - might have to get some this week - saw a packet of 6 small ones in Lidl and they had them in Morrisons of course! 😊

No Morrisons near us Ange, thinking about having a plant hunters weekend just to explore the Morrisons of the north! Pinning my hopes on a Lidl that's supposed to opening near us next year. @anges
