    Strawberries preparing

    The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.

    I have never understood the appeal of a red velvet cake. It's just a basic, boring sponge witha smattering of cocoa powder and red food colouring.

    Help With Growing Seeds

    I've got a few seeds just outside in pots, been there all winter, hopefully they will show around April or May, if not they will stay for at least one more winter before I give up on them.

    Dying Privet Hedge

    As well as the Lonicera nitida another which may do well is Griselina - evergreen, quite fast growing and doesn't appear susceptible to disease.

    Is this some sort of celandine?

    @Palustris I'll wait for it to flower. It's wedged itself between a geranium and a veronica. If it behaves like the lesser jobs, it's unlikely to do any harm.
