Beer! heavily! Take a low field alongside with a butter dish or Frisbee and sink it into the floor so as that the rim is on the soil's floor. Then fill the field with beer. The slugs will come working (as much as slugs run). while they fall in they'll drown interior the beer. eliminate the lifeless slugs on a daily basis and replenish beer as mandatory. Harsh pesticides like Seven usually artwork, yet they could be very volatile to all the stable bugs interior the backyard. they might even impact birds and different animals. in case you at the instant are not in to plucking lifeless slugs from beer, attempt diotomacious earth. that's a sandy product which you spatter around the flowers being bothered via slugs. truly, that's like strolling over shards of glass for the slugs. it works nicely yet must be replenished after heavy rain. that's lots greater eco-friendly. persist with label instructions. you're able to be waiting to discover this at maximum backyard centers.

On page four the first picture is centred on a clump of willowherb. It's in the genus Epilobium, but I can't be sure which species of willowherb that is. It wasn't deliberately planted. It's a weed, very common throughout Britain.
I checked Wikipedia and I think it is Epilobium montanum, the broad-leaf willowherb:

I've got most of these in my garden & don't need any looking after (except pruning & watering). You've got a hebe in there. Why not take cutting to the local garden centre for identification

Would try but the links don't work
Picture 1 is a variety of HEBE - Candy Floss I think
Picture 2 is Euonymous (euonymus)
Picture 3 Hebe again I believe
