Things that have made you happy today 2026
Interesting. Thanks for the tip We all need a cheering up. I can’t wait to get the chilli seeds into the soil. Another two weeks to wait.

Fruit Cages - can anyone please suggest a well made, robust cage?
I have a wooden cage as described for my cabbage etc, plus a metal frame one from Knowle nets but if I was buying now I would go for Harrod though they are not cheap.

Suggestions for the Christmas present from hell as far as I’m concerned

What are we doing in the garden 2026
