I've got an epimedium that I bought in B&Q about this time last year. Really like it, but it's looking very brown and sad at the moment so I'm...
Not actually raining this afternoon, which is an improvement on the last few days. Finished power washing the patio and giving the pots a good...
Ill for the last couple of days, better today so of course it's been raining consistently since 8am :frown: Had a lot of outdoor jobs planned for...
I, however, had "buy aquatic compost" on my to-do list for tomorrow, so that was a well-timed read, thanks @ARMANDII !
No such luck here - no room for a proper bonfire, and when I tried to put a bit of it through my little burner the poor thing took one look at the...
I'm with you on that one, though I only had four to start with so not nearly as big a job! One left to do, but I keep putting it off - it's...
@BeeHappy I planted them in a large pot with other bulbs last autumn and they've been outside ever since. I'm in the South West, and close to the...
Beautiful day here too; been outside for most of the day, and the hens have had their first garden roam of the year.Overhauled the main shadey...

Spent the afternoon hunting for an obelisk for my new climbing rose ("warm welcome"). No joy so far; all the ones I liked were too wide at the...
Oh yes, absolutely, the problem with lilies specifically is that it only takes a very small amount to be fatal. Anecdotally garden plants do seem...
Straight lilys are extremely poisonous to cats; even a small amount of pollen can send them into acute kidney failure. Daylilies are a little...
I just wish they'd mentioned the risk to cats in the bit about daylilies :frown:
Driving back and forth across the Mendips all this week - couldn't get through at all on Monday, and there were still drifts higher than my car on...
I'll swap with you @silu! I'm in awe of those hostas, they're amazing.
It's falling pretty steadily here...I'm meant to be in Shepton Mallet tomorrow, sort of hoping it hangs around long enough to warrant a day at...
I buy too many seeds in the autumn sales; far more than I could possibly have room for in the garden, never mind space to sow and grow on first....
It's Cuprinol, @HarryS , from the garden shades range. Pretty sure it was called City Slate. It's a really nice deep colour; my wooden borders...
