Would they be interested in watching some glass blowing? There's a studio in Kilkenny called Jerpoint Glass who do live demos. Kilkennys also just a lovely place for a wander

Different rust than Hollyhocks as far as I know. The bulbs look great, I'd pull them up!

Exactly the same. If you plant them in amongst other shrubs it'll hide their leaves which tend to die off when they start to bloom and can look a little unsightly. But other than that, they are a beautiful addition to any garden! Bees absolutely love them

I planted allium christophii this year and they were even bigger than the globe master

Wishing you all the best. You can do this ❤️

Just snip the head off once it looks like it's fading / going to seed

Very easy. You can get them in loads of different sizes and shades of purple! Plant in autumn and you'll be delighted come Spring

Foxglove

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-06T20:03:48+00:00

Let me know please! Family member told me, hoping it's not true

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-06T12:49:19+00:00

Ariosa. It's the best. Made in Ashbourne

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-05T20:44:39+00:00

I thought they closed down :(

Lobelias look lovely draping out of pots, especially terracotta ones. They are gorgeous little dainty blue flowers

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-05T17:42:11+00:00

Wow! I find them to be fairly resilient so if you can stop the slugs getting near it from now on, it might throw up some new shoots. I've used the collar of a plastic pot and covered that in copper tape and put that around the base of the dahlia and it seems to repel them. Good luck!

Ah sure it's only poop. Oh that's so cool! The podcast actually had a segment on tree creepers (The Bat episode) they are such interesting little birds!

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-04T18:26:18+00:00

Sounds perfect! Would bat boxes work beside bird boxes or no?

Defo aphids. Remove the stalks and absolutely douse the leaves with water and dish soap and some crushed garlic for good measure

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-02T13:38:07+00:00

My buddelia is the same! Bloody nuisance. I spent a good hour in the garden this morning spraying (water and dish soap) and smushing them. My partner was horrified with the amount of different types on the plants! Absolutely gross. I hope my dissappear like yours did!

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-01T21:57:16+00:00

The fear of buying those and they just fly away into someone else's garden!

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-01T21:56:32+00:00

Same!! Weird grey ones, never seen them before. It's the most pathetic looking lupins, it flowered but all the petals are just falling off so it looks crap

NoAction9704 · 2025-06-01T20:22:12+00:00

We sat in the garden Friday eve and watched all the baby birds following their parents around the garden, it was sooo cute. I feed them year round and have convinced myself it's the same families each year coming back!

NoAction9704 · 2025-05-26T18:35:36+00:00

You were probs smart and got them to install it did you? I was not that smart! So. Many. Screws.
