    Tomato Growing 2025

    My cuttings of Chocolate Drop are overwintering quite well so far. The sweet peppers went in today. So I popped in a few micro dwarf seeds into the propagator to keep them company.

    Your day (apart from gardening) what took place ? 2025

    Pulled the fridge out, cleaned the drip tray over the compressor and the floor, wiped the top and sides of the fridge. Then repeat with the freezer.

    Help needed with Buxus Plants!

    I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.

    Spring Bulbs coming up early

    Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.
