Such a pretty little flower 💜💜💜

Thank you Jane 💜 And it’s said to repel moles so I mad sure I have few around the garden 😁 @pelly

Hadn’t heard that before...good to know!

Moles have haunted the garden fo as long as I remember. I tried everything with my underground visitors 🙈 They love eating canna, tulip, daffodils, dahlias and any other tubers or bulbs. They even once ate my gazania roots 😓 God help the mole who decides to visit my garden next 🤣 @italydiva

Wow! I would never have expected moles to be such a nuisance there! There were lots of them around the area where I used to live, but fortunately, none ever found their way into my garden.

So moles are the vampires of the mammal world 🧛‍♂️ 🧄 🙅🏻😆

They’re more of an enemy in the garden than a nuisance. If you had a mole around a veggie garden it would pull the whole plants underground. I’ve grown to hate their presence in the garden. I hope you never get one of their visits @jeatacake

I’ve never thought of them that way but that’s so fitting 😁 Love the idea. Does that mean I’m a vampire slayer? 🤔🤣 @italydiva

Guess it does! 😆🤣😂

Oh my goodness! I know they make a real mess of lawns but I never thought about what other problems they might cause 😟 I've not seen a single mole hill within maybe 5 miles of where I live now, whereas it was more like 500 metres at my old place. I'm guessing you've tried all the well known deterrents?

Oh yes, I’ve tried every product the garden center recommended but in the end I had to kill it. There was no other solution 😖😶 I guess they’re more common in rural areas. We have a lot of open and unused land where they normally live but recently some construction sights have caused them to change locations 😒 @jeatacake
