Awww what a cutie, what's his/her name Gerty?

My girl cat, Polly.  She's Queen Bee in our house.  I seem to be her lady in waiting!  ;D

I've gone a bit overboard with the slug pellets.

Didn't realise slugs were available to plant as pellets!!  8) When we planted our tubs/troughs SWMBO did the same with our slug pellets - you couldn't see the compost for the pellets!!!  :D

@ Fly - plenty of slug pellets thanks --- and will have the lettuce --- you can keep the sink  ;D

@ Emmz I love clamatis not got one in my garden now but used to have. Lovely time of year as we watch the flowers grow and bloom isn't it  :)

I've got two varieties, one has a small light coloured flower that covers our fence (and next doors!) and is lovely but, it's an early flowering variety and has stopped flowering already  :(

The other is a purple large flowering variety but is really old and is past it's best, as it doesn't have many blooms on it nowadays  :(

As for the rest of the garden (esp my Lavateria), it's looking very dashed with all this wind and rain!  :(

If this heavy rain carries on Alsatian it will rot the bedding plants - mine are getting very soggy as well

Next to the last one is a poppy - of which I find almost impossible to grow in my garden for some unknown reason  >:( - and the last one is a nasturtium which the leaves, I'm led to believe, are an eatable salad plant.................... although I'd check 'em for caterpillars before you do!!  ;)

So envious of your clematis  ::)

The clematis has done really well over the years and seems to get bushier with each year too.
The poppy which i did have a bit of an idea on seems to come up each year though i cant remember planting the damn things. but have 2 or 3 of them now.
Ill post more pix once the other plants have flowered which i think is sometime next month.

I thought that looked like a poppy but wasn't sure the other I thought looked like geranium leaves but obviously not. Careful with the poppy though Emmz.
