You have grown such fabulous flowers, that last photo of the vase is gorgeous. I love granny squares, never tire of them, and a kingsize blanket/throw sounds perfect.<br /><br />We are plagued with snails here, I feel no love for them as they are eating EVERYTHING! I chuck them over the fence...makes me feel slightly better about the neighbour's cat pooing all over our garden (and I know it's their cat as I have seen it with my own eyes!).Gillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-40091366531567259782012-05-28T13:21:09.314+01:002012-05-28T13:21:09.314+01:00the snails could do some good in the compost heap,...the snails could do some good in the compost heap, or you could give them to our hens, who'd wolf them!rockinloubylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158626656631422167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-48413554400852295182012-05-27T12:26:23.522+01:002012-05-27T12:26:23.522+01:00Gorgeous images, and the cake looks yummy (why do ...Gorgeous images, and the cake looks yummy (why do I always end up commenting on folks' cakes?!)<br /><br />Snails here used to be removed but lately I've resorted to beer traps. I'm reluctant to kill slugs and snails but they can carry lung worm and as the dogs eat them and I value my dogs' lives above the gastropods' the snails have to go.<br /><br />Happy gardening :DAnnie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-77969003970813258812012-05-27T12:14:24.856+01:002012-05-27T12:14:24.856+01:00Great photos!

The weather here in central England is much the same... too hot for me but we have to make the most of it anyway! <br /><br />I can't believe you kill your snails - and suffocating in a bag too. I think squashing would have been kinder - at least it's instant!! I couldn't do it, I'd feel too bad. I leave all of nature alone, plus the snails are food for the birds!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-46015557625822701552012-05-27T10:57:14.269+01:002012-05-27T10:57:14.269+01:00House martin eggs are white, could you have them n...House martin eggs are white, could you have them nearby?<br />I also don't kill snails, in fact I just leave them in the garden. I don't touch anything at all, they seem to find a balance. Birds and frogs love slugs and snails! (You can try copper piping placed round flower/veg beds. Slugs and snails get a shock off it and so don't generally try to go over it)Rattling Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717017116448498799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-72794300975667003702012-05-26T23:58:07.088+01:002012-05-26T23:58:07.088+01:00Great photos again, I can't kill my snails I t...Great photos again, I can't kill my snails I throw them into the overgrown garden next door knowing they will just come back!<br />Have a good Sunday.<br />xxxLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548006686821838698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-30415318694256950702012-05-26T19:20:53.046+01:002012-05-26T19:20:53.046+01:00Love that pussy cat pic in front of the shell, jus...Love that pussy cat pic in front of the shell, just perfect!<br /><br />The sunshine is lovely isn't it?

I must admit I couldn't put the snails in a bag like that but perhaps I'm a bit soft with living things. I don't have a garden unfortunately but when I take them from the allotment I put them in a big tub with a lid with holes in and set them free in the woods across the road or if I'm feeling really generous they go in the huge compost bin which they seem to love and they stay there.Rustic Vintage Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707515487917612909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-9122897162486513422012-05-26T10:52:16.874+01:002012-05-26T10:52:16.874+01:00Your method of disposing of the snails was not the...Your method of disposing of the snails was not the best, I wouldn't like to end my life in a plastic bag suffocating to death.<br />I usually put mine in a container and take them a long way away from home and release them, that is much kinder.<br />I think we are all entitled to a life and not one of us has the right to kill another, even humble snails.<br />Love your blog though.<br />BelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
