The only plants that grew in my garden this year were...

[wherehaveallthegoodfolkgone]

Fuscia and geraniums ! Everything else flopped. I'm not very good with names but spent over £150 on various flowers and plants including busy lizzies, marigolds etc all in containers and all eaten by slugs or just dead.

What's grown reliably and successfully in your garden this (weird weathered) summer and survived infestation of slugs ?

My hydrangea also grew a lot.

Mine is looking ok today.

The purple one. The flower spikes are quite impressive poking through everything else.

This is Common toadflax, Linaria vulgaris. The flowers are much bigger than Purple Toadflax, Linaria purpurea.

Now you link to it, I think there may be one of them in the patch. I was wondering why I had a random snapdragon 😊
