That must have been one of my fastest ever Round Tuits! I think it will probably end up with Alpine type plants as whatever I use needs to be low growing. For now I have sown some dwarf African Marigolds as they always give a nice splash of colour through the Summer.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-28772475880708086952016-04-04T08:46:58.971+01:002016-04-04T08:46:58.971+01:00Wilma: Also known here as pill bugs.

Great that it wasn't too big of a job assembling it, and good idea to get a round tuit right away ;) I hope you'll show it again when you have added plants etc. We call those little roly poly things woodbugs, and we'd find the very similar accumulation when lifting up a pot. They don't bother me because they are not fast moving creatures ;)Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-79177660052929257252016-04-03T16:54:33.854+01:002016-04-03T16:54:33.854+01:00In the US, we know those woodlice as roly-poly bug...In the US, we know those woodlice as roly-poly bugs. And in Belize, termites are called woodlice. I will take your woodlice any day over termites!
