The only thing blooming in the garden here is the Moles 47 blooming
new mole hills since the snow started to go.


Don't know about the bulbs David but my daughter and son in law have been
troubled by moles for years and have tried just about everything. Last
summer, one grass area to the side of the pond some 50 metres square was
ruined by moles and when they moved to the other side of the pond to an
even larger area, d & sil were tearing their hair out, their own!!

However, they found and bought a solar device which sticks into the ground
near or in an existing run, and hay presto, the moles cleared off from
that area, so the device was moved and success again.

We will be with them later today and I will get details. They are pleased
with it.

I don't know how deep Moles go, but it is a large walled garden so they
need to be killed or they need to go deep under the footings of the wall
if they want to escape ;-)



:-((

Not all that impressed apparently.

Drove the Moles elsewhere in the grounds.

Didn't kill them.

Failed to function when the frosts and snow came.

Now back in their boxes in the greenhouse and the grounds are peppered with
molehills. I would have taken a photo but you all know what masses of
molehills look like.

BTW, someone said get rid of the worms. NO NO NO NO NO, worms are your
friends in the garden :-)
