    The speakers always seem to have some reason to be globe trotting, just taking advantage of their position, like they all do. The horrible little scroat that we had before was always doing the same.

    Best supplier of compost 2026

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.

    If you want something unusual try Ugni. They are related to blueberries but the fruit ripen much later and have a fragrant taste - we liked them, more for snacking on than pies I suspect. I bought the variegated one and have it in my front garden. I think it would be OK in a pot.
