I had to stop the maintenance gardeners here chopping down a four storey high jasmine this week; they didn't want to do it but one (ONE!) tenant in the block has complained that her kids have allergies and don't like the smell or the insects. (Maybe she should stop feeding them junk food then!!) The plant has been saved for now.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-15377404547038005952016-09-03T12:47:45.639+01:002016-09-03T12:47:45.639+01:00I think Wildlife Wednesday is the way to go for me...I think Wildlife Wednesday is the way to go for me, Sue - I can never quite manage to be wordless!

I tried wildflower seeds under the fruit trees last year but it didn't come to much - too much shade and drought I think. I'm going to have a go with wildflower mixes in a different spot next year.

It would be interesting to know even though I've had no problems with beans setting so far. (Touch wood!)

I remember ripping a page out of a book and quickly scribbling a picture in an effort to be part of the group to meet him in. I was successful!
