The holly seems to be working okay, so far! The next onslaught is from the slugs when I plant out the seedlings, it's then I really ask myself why? I don't know about you... I'm not giving up without a fight!<br /><br />LLXlettice leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637631435776710877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-35826616663925355322013-03-04T17:53:46.828+00:002013-03-04T17:53:46.828+00:00You do make me smile but I so know where you are c...You do make me smile but I so know where you are coming from my small garden is plagued by next doors cats and their ;gifts; For a while I did chuck the presents over the fence (after dark) but there are so many that I have given up that game. I have tried most cures, including borowing my daughters dog but the cats just look at him as if to say 'too late' as they hop onto the fence and for a while my garden looked like a fruit stall as someone said that orange/citrus peel would work - but no!! I tried sticks but they seem to find a way to get into the mesh of sticks!! The best I have found so far is bits of this last years christmas tree - I always have a real tree and cut it to pieces and found sticking these branches into the bare ground patches has so far fooled the cats - the only problem is I don't have enough to cover all the bare ground patches in my garden. If you come up with any other ideas I would love to hear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449809031669435374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-27379239630191736302013-03-01T08:43:43.082+00:002013-03-01T08:43:43.082+00:00I'm fully aware I've probably alienated sh...I'm fully aware I've probably alienated shed loads of cat lovers... although must say, I do fancy myself in a Davy Crockett hat.<br /><br />LLXlettice leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637631435776710877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-61167099041281598372013-03-01T08:40:09.340+00:002013-03-01T08:40:09.340+00:00Good idea, trouble is, there's not a rose in s...Good idea, trouble is, there's not a rose in sight here. It's all wild gardening, compost-making, the ancient hedge positively vibrating with noise, bumble bee house, areas left roughty-toughty for hedgehogs (well that's my excuse). A general air of decadent and decay... I just love it. <br /><br />If I get crabby with the world (and I do) I dig. So good for the soul.<br /><br />LLXlettice leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637631435776710877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740911157835021243.post-20018561623597301522013-03-01T08:28:57.562+00:002013-03-01T08:28:57.562+00:00I've always been 'organical', my hippy...I've always been 'organical', my hippy past I suppose.

Need to have two shifts of course, week on and week off, otherwise they tend to fall asleep at night. Damned lucky. Hate slugs, always prepared to ride out of my way to let my elephant squish them underfoot. Occasionally get a gardener of course but that can't be helped. Slimy things. Slugs that is, not gardeners.The Owl Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484484539144369129noreply@blogger.com
