This morning I finished removing the dead box hedge in the garden. I didn't try digging out the roots as they are right on the fence line, but...
Don't think I can take any credit, apart from sheltering it over the coldest months it's been completely neglected.
I have a single chilli plant, I bought it from B&Q for a quid in 2023. On the way home I managed to break the stem. It survived and forked into 2...
Anemone "Ruffled Swan". Very glad I bought this plant a few weeks ago, it's done a good job of brightening up the garden in the gloomy weather....
Finally a beautiful sunny autumn day. Quite breezy at lunchtime after being completely still for days before.[ATTACH]
I have just binge watched the entire new series of Monkey Life on Sky/Now TV. It's about the work of the Monkey World sanctuary in Dorset, there...
Did some pots of bulbs this afternoon, the last of my Narcissus. Not a minute too soon, a couple of the bulbs had already gone soft. Also had a...

My latest shrub purchases: Drimys Aramatico and Hamamelis Arnold Promise. I had no idea what the Drimys was, but the foliage is so pretty and with...
The old ones are worse!
If they can't afford to pay for the fence, they don't have to. But they are legally obliged to keep the dogs on their property. So they should be...
I've still got the angle irons in my garden, I'll have to take a look. In some places they are still the only boundary and the wiring has long...
That's awful. There is no law that says they have to erect a fence - even if they are responsible for the boundary. But by law they are supposed...
I was going to say the same about the wind, then I thought of all the gales and horrible weather we've had this summer/autumn already - if it's...
No, I've never peeled one either. The green skins add to the visual appeal of the meal.
Just spent a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon, planting some bulbs. 15 cyclamen coum and 28 camassia. Still got another dozen camassia...
It probably depends where you're buying them from - I can't remember experiencing it either. But I can imagine that waxing them is something some...
