" I hope the weather improves pretty quickly over there and you are able to get back into your gardens. Maybe then you will not have the time to bore the rest of us rigid!
David Nicholson in Devon UK. Where the pages of the SRGC Forum are full of wonderful images of Crocus, Narcissus, Galanthus, Hepatica, Juno Irises etc. " All this talk of pesticides has inspired me to break out the Slug & snail pellets from last season(I hope they are still plenty toxic). About this time of winter we get warm spells as we are today, which wakes up the darn slugs. If I forget to spread the pellets I can forget the Primula cusickiana and Calypso bulbosa and a few other winter green species--they will get creamed in a few above freezing nights. If I get really inspired I will sprinkle around some Bt in a feeble first strike against the cut worms that seem to come out before the frost is off--just in time to fell the flowering stalks of the Lomatiums.
