It is @Obelix-Vendée and in my experience you only get the scent if you actively touch it. It’s an odd scent, I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t...
Not much done here today as it’s so hot. Did have an “aromatic” half hour pulling up some Woundwort. I was hoping my Woodland Sage, also said to...
Mmm I was planning to collect seed from some growing by our local canal. Having read this thread I might cross it off the list as I’ve enough...

I’d buy tools as and when you need them and feel an ongoing need for them otherwise you can buy some and find you never use them. Also worth...
If the existing roses are rugosa varieties, I can’t enlarge the photos enough to tell, then chopping them down by two thirds this Autumn would...
Thanks @fairygirl will have a mooch round the local DIY stores
Have you not got anywhere it could grow in the ground? One specimen will cover metres of fence (7+ here) so even if the spot is some way from your...
