Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Egg shells do a good job of deterring snails. Break the shells into small fragments and scatter it around. Another trick is small plastic drinking cups (like the once from dispensing machines) pushed into the soil so their mouths are at ground level, half filled with cheap beer/lager. The smell attracts the slugs and snails, and then they die happily drunk.

There are eggshells there too. And sand, they don't like sand either.
I have a variation of the beer/lager trap as I don't drink it, very rarely anyway.
Yeast dissolved in water in a bean tin/yoghurt pot (big one) does the same as it is the yeast smell that attracts them.

Another double rainbow! This is NOT me posting up the same picture!
Oh, and I STILL don't have a Velux salesman in the area!

Lightning strike lighting up my patio around 00:20 the other night. I sat there in the dark watching it pressing the button for burst shots at random..

And a dead baby bird on my walk home, either fallen from a nest or more likely hoiked out by a magpie.
I had loads of ivy and had blackbirds and thrushes nesting in it. Every year the magpies ate the baby birds.

SWMBO called me into the garden this morning to see her roses which are doing very well:
But to be honest I am more impressed with our quite rare white peony:

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
This photograph wasn't taken today, but it was digitised today.
The photograph was taken a couple of decades ago, early on a misty September morning, with my Mothers' narrowboat The Black Cat in the distance. I went for a wander (with my camera), and when I turned round I just HAD to get it on film.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
While it was all farmland here, that was long ago and it has been housing since 1973.
Nearest farm now is miles away.
Nice red poppies at a neighbour's. I meant to swipe some seeds last year and forgot.
Although they won't grow true. They seem to be quite random.
Black Aquilegia, self seeded. There were some here a few years ago but vanished. Bought some seeds but they are not showing yet.
Crap photo's. Forgot my glasses so couldn't see what I was doing.
