I might try this idea!<br />Your ducks have grown so fast. How wonderful that they eat slugs - I need some to eat mine! Did you have to teach them or did they figure it out by themselves?Eliza Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879335295393594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-62703408298773301992019-07-09T07:46:12.633+01:002019-07-09T07:46:12.633+01:00Lovely idea and result.

Most of those I made with material from my former tiny garden were that size but, when I got a bigger garden, I seem to have up-sized my flower arrangements at the same time. I took a look at that IG feed but, as I'm not in need of another rabbit hole to fall into, I shan't be adding it to my own feed. Even if they're almost full-grown now, the ducklings remain as cute as can be.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-60073019744847098542019-07-08T23:21:04.429+01:002019-07-08T23:21:04.429+01:00That is very pretty Alison, and small yet with an ...That is very pretty Alison, and small yet with an abundant variety. The catananche with the strong blue then the other white, pink and softer elements, make a charming arrangement. I shall be continuing the small theme for a few weeks I think.

I won't be keeping all the ducks, they will be looking for new homes soon though I don't yet know which are male or female. They don't really do any damage to the garden except it's best not to water when they are around or they get their bills right into it.

Definitely a possible challenge for IAVOM's next anniversary... Will you continue to house the ducks as adults?
