    The Camera In My Pocket 2025

    I had to re-calibrate the gimbal on the drone, so I took it for a test flight at the golf course. It was surprising how many trees still retain their leaves, from the ground, you don't notice it...
    I had to re-calibrate the gimbal on the drone, so I took it for a test flight at the golf course. It was surprising how many trees still retain their leaves, from the ground, you don't notice it as much.

    Full Shade Container Plants

    I think you’re right @CostasK, my sandy soil is the problem. I’m actually not very keen on the scent either but I might let it try to sway my negative thoughts over the next few weeks :biggrin:.

    Any idea what these shrubs are, and can I cut them back now?

    I cut my Choysia back just after they finish flowering too - here that's about June. If you prune in spring you'd lose at least some of that year's flowers, or maybe they'd flower later in the...
    I cut my Choysia back just after they finish flowering too - here that's about June. If you prune in spring you'd lose at least some of that year's flowers, or maybe they'd flower later in the year. It won't hurt them to prune at other times but it can affect the flowering. No problem if you...

    Thank you Lizzie I'm glad you think it looks good. When I look underneath that wooden part on the left without concrete, there are snails under there so it looks like there is possibly something blocking underneath, I will try poking, and I'll try having a little look over the fence tomorrow too.
