After a few failures put down to this summer's heat, I too had a few gaps
to
fill in my borders. Undoubtedly the most successful fillers were Mr.
Fothergill's Cosmos mixtures. Although they didn't come into their own
until
August, they proved to be quite magnificent.
As an added bonus, the slugs and snails left them alone too.

I will look them up, my mum always does them and they look fantastic in late
September early October. I normally avoid anything that involves work during
the season but this coming year I don't think I can avoid it! (I hate gaps
more!!) and if the slugs give them a chance so much the better.
