Thanks for the slug advice. I was beginning to notice less slugs this year. You’ve confirmed my suspicion that continuing to feed birds reduced them and I’ll use your third option around vulnerable plants.
I really need advice. I have a very large pot on a very sunny patio. I would love something with all year interest. I have just put in a blue grass, but I would love something higher…that can cope with the cold of winter. Last year I lost a lot of plants in our snow in Northampton. Is there anything you can think of? Not an easy ask…drought resistant, cold resistant, evergreen, interesting and maybe fragrant! 🤣🪴🌺
Hi Jenny I think we all lost a lot of plants last year - it was so cold for so long that many couldn't withstand it. My favourite evergreens for pots include things like Pieris and Camellia, partly because they need acidic soil which is easy to provide in containers. I also like shrubs like Choisya Aztec Pearl which might work well with your blue grass, Euonymus are always reliable, and Rosemary is always attractive too, as well as great for bees. Hope that gives you a few ideas :) Let us know what you plump for!
@@janemoore2154 Thank you so much for your time. I will plump for Rosemary as it is near the kitchen door and will be put to good use…provided the energy crisis improves and I turn on the oven again!

Very good video. Slug pellets kill hedgehogs though if they eat the slugs and snails who have had pellets.
