Lovely weather in East Yorkshire last couple of days. The sweet peas I sowed last week are popping up and growing on, and this weekend I have...
Warm-ish and sunny day yesterday, so I pruned half of the roses and cut back the old leaves on the pulmonaria whilst OH built me a new planter for...
We have a reasonable variety of birds visiting, but they're sporadic and come at various times throughout the day. So my results never really...
A bright sunny day here, though a little chilly, but good weather to go out and tidy the front garden. I've swept leaves, cleaned the front door,...
Do we have a new thread for 2025 as yet? This is my favourite one!
Size, aspect and soil for me.It's too small to grow everything I want to grow. It's square and north facing so it gets no sun in winter, and the...

I don't get the opportunity to do much in the winter. My garden is square shaped and North facing so there's little to no sun in winter, and the...
Planted the bare root Scarborough Fair that arrived yesterday. Looks to be a good sized healthy one so will look forward to watching it grow in...
Thank you everyone. They'll be going into pots as we have awful new build soil.I think I might give it a few weeks.
As title really. The usual advice is to plant in November to avoid tulip fire, but it has been so mild here in East Yorkshire, with day time temps...
A nice dry and breezy day today. I've mowed the lawn and spread horse manure mulch on some of the borders. I don't have as much as I thought...
Couple of mine still hanging on too.Here's Gabriel Oak [ATTACH]
Husband has just removed an enormous and tatty old mock orange for me. It's a shame as it was quite old and has done well in the past, and the...
