Those big plants look more like hollyhocks than lupins to me… 🤔

You are 100% correct. Thank you for pointing that out

[@kimstockwell721]

Wow, looks epic Mark. Such a kind gesture to donate proceeds to RSPCA in Basil's memory.

I always add chicken pellets and fish blood and bone to spent compost Also add a few pellets when potting on plants bought from the garden centre just to give them a boost

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

My neighbour has chucks and I wondered why their grass does so well 😊

[@brocktoon8]

What a wonderful idea to honour the memory of sweet Basil!

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Thanks. Free plants and a gift to charity turns the negative into a positive in a sense. He was a sweet little man ❤️

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Glad you had some fun! ^^ (and glad you're back too ^^)

[@brocktoon8]

How adorable that a wee one has taken up residence in your veg bed! Haha Cozy ^^

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I'm dying to know what it is...could even be a rat 🤔

[@brocktoon8]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Haha, that's true I thought of that too, but who knows? You could set up your cam and see?

[@muddyboots2531]

Lovely thought! God bless. BTW Mark. With your love of cameras and creepy nightime footage have you thought about a cheap trail cam for that hole? My money is on Mr Ratty.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I must get a camera to do that. I think a country rat too 😊
