Voles or moles Puss?

Lesley, thankyou for asking about my eye :) my eyelid puffed up that night like I'd been in a boxing match, but is now almost back to normal, I have been out tackling more elder roots :-| I think some of them have gone down into the mine shafts that are around here lol.

How are the elder trees doing Rose, got them all up yet?

I wondered if Puss meant voles or moles as well. You said Vole first then Mole Puss :-D

OH has planted the potatoes in tubs today, also filled the hanging baskets with soil and hung them in the greenhouse to warm up a bit before planting.

hope your eye is better son rose, thanks ann its voles lol id be lost with out you lol xx

thanks greenfingers, you mean they want nooky in my garden, lucky voles, i read a little they also like compost heaps and thats where oh found him,or her, of course if i had spotted it it would of been a humungus rat :-D

Right Puss, now Jan (Greenfingers) is talking about MOLES :-D :-D :-D :-D

lol i cant keep up :-D think ive had too much son xx

Over the past week or so ive found 4 lady birds in different places in ,my jungle, has anyone else seen them x?

I think they have survived because of the mild winter.

We have had flies in the house for about a month now.

Not had many flies Julia but seen quite a few bumble bees in the garden and conservatory.

Yes, Ann, the OH saw a Bumble Bee outside the other day. Spring is definitely on the way. Ho,ho.

Well Oh got really carried away today and painted one of our garden benches.

puss n daughter.....only four ladybirds !!!1 They have been all over our garden and come into the house, since the end of last summer (if you can call it that !) They have been a pest,they seem to arrive from nowhere...likewise earwigs, yuk

Julia we've been getting flies on sunny days but only on windows that face south south/west, they've not been very lively or very fat it looks as though they've just come out of hibernation.

Greenfingers same here regarding ladybirds and earwigs.

oh i know its not preoper gardening, but iv bitten the bullet and mowed the lawns, only my front ones, the back garden can wait no one can see it lol,

cuppa coffee the time to trim the hedge :-\

lol greenfingers ahh i thoughyt i was special lol

My sky scraper lillies have come, with free seeds for other things, so where is oh, and me trowl "SPECKY HERE NOW sweety you know i love you"xx :-D

my tulips are in bud they normally dont flower
till the end of april begining of may up here in the north east
and the daffs are in abundence this year all very early

I've just treated myself to two white lily bulbs & a pack of freesias (£2.56 Wilko's) and a bag of sidalcea from the 99p shop, don't feel too guilty at that price :-)

Good value Rose. Our pound shop has loads of garden stuff in, lots of seeds and bulbs as well as tools etc.

I have got quite a lot of seeds saved Ann, so must get some compost to start some of them off soon. In fact I might go and have a look through them now to see what there is. :-D
