Loving your garden

Do they have to eat them?.

[Oma]

I think most likely Plant but im not sure think I will google it , I don't think my DD has any in her garden but having cats I will have a look and warn her too

[Gemini]

With other lilies the main danger is the pollen, as just a small bit can prove fatal. Most cats past kitten stage wont eat flowers or bulbs, but if pollen gets onto them they lick it off, so that is the big danger.
Daffodills are bad for them too. My cat (who lived to be 19) loved to drink daffodil water but I stopped her once I read of the dangers and never filled vases full enough for her to drink out of after that.
Thanks Nan2 for telling us about alstroemeria and cats.

Thanks for that information Nan2 well worth knowing,we are just in the process of lifting up the lawn (we only have a smallish garden but nice and square) to one side there is a Man Shed and a good area for wirley washing line we are going to lay artificial grass as the turf has been ruined by Dolly's wee, until she arrived everything was fine as Poppy only goes when she goes for a walk she has never gone in the garden for some reason.Either side of the lawn we have large pots filled with roses and other annual bulbs across the back wall roses climb up the wall they where here when we moved in they are a delight to look at.
We should have the grass laid next week when the underlining is laid then just sit back and admire.

Daisy going back to your original post I think I remember Alan Titchmarsh saying to take the time and just look and enjoy the garden.

I love Alstroemerias but didn’t know you could have them in an ordinary garden so will look into getting some.

[Daisy]

Clover - yes, I think he did. It should be a pleasure not just a load of jobs.

[Glammanana]

We (or rather John) has reached the last part of the garden which needs lifting prior to the new grass (artificial) being laid so we shall soon be looking quite posh x

[Daisy]

Glamm - I'm sure it will look lovely, and be easier to care for. Can we see a photo when it's finished?

[Glammanana]

Daisy I promise I will have my DGS come to my house and ajust my lap-top to take the pictures if you remember I have the settings wrong and they will not load.I will get him to do it next week now he has finished school he is going to come over and set up netflix on my TV so he can kill two birds so to speak x

[Daisy]

Glamm - what a lovely helpful GS you have. I don't know how we'd survive the technology jungle without them!

[Grauntie Mag]

I love my garden too. I do a tour in my dressing gown with my morning cuppa most days. I cannot resist collecting seeds and taking cuttings. I spend far too much money on the garden every year.

[Daisy]

Grauntie - that's two of us wandering round the garden at first light in our dressing gowns. I pretend I'm keeping an eye on Eva, but she's often shot back in to the house and back to bed before I've got half way round!

I do this too......inspecting the estate 😃

Enfys - welcome to the Dawn Wanderers Club!

Just been watching this busy bee in the hollyhocks. She was covered in pollen, her little fat body wobbled a lot as she tried to take off again. Hope she makes it 🐝
