    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    All the British chocolate manufacturers seem to have been taken over by foreign companies and they have degraded the products to a point where everyone says they prefer foreign chocolate. :scratch:

    So far Greenland hasn’t had any threats at all from China or Russia, but has certainly had plenty from the Dictator in the White House. All parroted by his selected henchmen, carefully selected for their blind allegiance, rather than any semblance of intelligence or ability to run a country. Tragic.

    Best supplier of compost 2026

    I use Clover, as @hailbopp suggested. It has peat in it. At the moment it's sold by 2 garden centres fairly local to me in South Norfolk. I'm happy with it.

    Portuguese Laurels problem

    Just one further thought @Selwynha, if you plan to dig up one of the plants to investigate, wait for the temperature to improve to avoid any further damage.

    If my chillies get a bit leggy I just plant them deeper when they are potted on. They root readily from any buried leaf nodes and I don't remember ever losing one from this method. I don't use grow lights or a heat pad so I won't be starting them till next month.
