ty Carole for spotting the bfm💙

Morning Carole, hope all is going well x

Yes, you've been through a lot with your shoulder, recovery takes so much longer the older  we get.  Hope the healing process continues x

PS:  If you want bday foxes to visit you need to harvest the butterflies and replant Bellis 🤗

Pleased you're healing well, hope it continues for you.  Our  youngest son (44) had major shoulder surgery a week ago and he's been staying with us to recover.  His wife can't get time off work and he needs to attend physio sessions twice a week.  He's doing well, think it must be all the "home-cooked meals" haha 

Good to hear you're doing better, keep up the healing process 🤗 x

Yes, maybe if gnome pots go on the marketplace you could get a chance to buy one.  Hope you are continuing to heal well x

It's really a waste of time growing the 3 sunflowers now that they have "finished growing", they won't give you gnome pots :(  You can only make them grow in the 1st hour after it flowers and in that time they have to be at least 30 inches tall in order to get a gnome pot.  That's about all the info I can give you hun, the rest is up to you to spot summer critters in other gardens x

Did you want to try to get a gnome pot from your sunflowers hun, or are you happy just having them in your garden looking bright and happy 🤗

Hi hun, pleased to hear you're healing well, continue to take it slowly 🤗

With the sunflowers - and you've probably done this already - have a read through the "News" tab under "Sunflower Challenge".  It gives the basic info of what happens. As soon as you have dd'd sunflower to fully grown, you have 1 hour to grow sunflower to 30 inches or more in order to be eligible for a gnome pot when flower is rfh (in 2 days). Aim is to get sunflower to grow to at least 30 inches (or more) within that hour.

You have all those Bellis plants growing plus the nests. Garden only allows for 9 items, so you'll basically have room for only 1x sunflower and a second table of food (low is preferable because pygmy mice give 4 inches of growth instead of 2" and they only come to low food).

Plant a sunflower (I will send to you), dd to fully grown (flower) then go hunting. Anything spotted in yours in that hour will also add to growth. If it is under 30 inches you won't get a gnome pot. I would suggest discarding the regular food and having 2x low organic (1x birdmix, 1x trop fruit), the 5-feed org only.

Hope that helps and I haven't confused you.  Any probs just holle
