I use these people's rigid copper rings round my dahlias, but they're in the ground though.
Always found them very good.

Yes I've got copper tape around the pots, just added Vaseline lower down the pot , I read it somewhere !

The war is on which rhyme will win
I blame this on daytime gin
A failure to find the latest post
Probably also burned the toast
I'll stand back and simply grin

That's a beautiful tree  but I always thought it was poisonous for animals and people

Happy Birthday.

Looked out this morning to see my Laburnum Tree is just coming into bloom. Another couple of days and it will be fully out and looking good.

Have a good weekend everyone !

Here I sit without a start
Wondering what wisdom I could impart
Maybe something about fixing taps
Nice and easy - no mishaps 
All this knowledge, straight from the heart.



Done two loads of washing, its out on the line
Its sunny and breezy and the forecast is fine

Good grief !  what is happening in Scotland ? a few years and it'll be as bad as England.

Happy birthday GM, have a lovely day
