I've managed to resist the poundland bargains so far - my garden is FULL UP! Apart from bulbs. Crocus, daffs and tulips. Will see how they go.
Haha. That's just horribly untrue, HBK. The world is getting warmer, and we are causing it. There is almost no doubt at all amongst the entire...
"who are we to trust." Erm. Scientists! I don't know why "tax" has come into this. I don't recall paying any more tax to deal with climate change.
It's not worth worrying about people who ignore science, really, Geoff. There will always be that - those who thought the Earth was flat weren't...
It's been a dreadful year for caterpillars for me. I don't like netting either - looks horrible, and if you only grow a few it's too much of a...
I'm in a similar position. I've just nibbled at it since I moved in a few years ago, but now think my flowering currant needs teaching a lesson....

I can't believe it. I'm still waiting for summer to arrive! Suppose it's time to start the big autumn projects, then. Climate change is horrid....
I tried to stop cats getting in. I put fabric netting, held up with bamboo canes, on the top of the fences where they were climbing. It worked a...
Churches, Castles & CampanologyPenny, are you Canadian born and bred? I spent some time working in Vancouver. I love it. I can't describe how...
Um difficult to explain Ziggy. Research. Office work. You know these reports about social attitudes and economics etc that people like the...
Yes, I've overwintered. Indoors is best - an unheated greenhouse might be too cold. Plenty of light, easy on the water. My biggest mistake was...
Try to keep going lollipop. It's important to fill your day with little jobs etc too, to avoid getting completely down, I found. Even if it's just...
