Dark nights

Winter sucks, that is all.

I think someone should breed a Venus Slug Trap...........................

I'm doing my best to try and raise some monster VFT's. So you never know.

Feed the VFT's on yeast Si, slugs love it.

I love winter (and all the seasons, come to that) - don't have to worry about pests in the garden (other than boar and deer) or the endless round of watering and weeding, and there's still plenty to eat out there.
Winter walks are the best although France does need to learn about pubs with roaring log fires ...
But, I'm so glad not to be having to go to work/come home in the dark any more.
And put me down for one or two Venus Slug Traps when they hit the shops

Honestly not sure if that'd kill the VFT's, they are fickle little sods to keep alive and thriving.

Also thinking a slug could eat it's way out of a VFT before the Trap had time to start eating it.


I do have some Sarracenia though that might drown the slugs then digest them.

One of the plans for next year on the lottie is to dig out an area for a pond and some bog/marshland around one side of it to plant out my VFT's and Sarracenia to see if they will thrive and possibly multiply/set seed to increase my stock and increase their health and size. Be interesting to see if they put a dent in the negative bug life.

I do not like winter - I go to work in the dark, come home in the dark and spend the rest of the time battling snow and freezing cold winds Plus whilst stuff is still growing there is not the same excitement as in spring!

It's that time of year where I'm having to turn the floodlights on to keep working on the lotty.

Rather have dark morning, i am still wanting to play outside at 7.

Prefer dark at night but I take a scope outside and try to recall where things are to observe.
Worst aspect is trying to work out which specific murderous creature it is that is creaping up behind me. So far hedgehogs haven't worked out how to climb trees to jump on me.
