The truth is, we have the perfect weather for gardening..never too hot...never too cold. Of course, that's the perfect conditions for garden pests, too. : D Debs Dust Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531253622708240031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857071395607736460.post-7398127596554612102015-05-30T14:56:30.361+01:002015-05-30T14:56:30.361+01:00Thanks, Dee.

You have so many stunning combinations! And though we don't have snails we have other things and I think it is fantastic to make a list of what works instead of forcing things that don't. I use a lot of garlic in my garden to keep the bunnies from eating everything. Loved your post here today friend!

I also feed the birds & they seem to help too with the bugs so perhaps that is the way to go! Your garden looks lovely ….

I gave up to destroy them with insecticides or other things. I am so glad we have many birds, toads, sometimes hedgehogs and ladybugs in the garden, that it seems that nature is in balance now, I hope so.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.com
