    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me :heehee:. Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.

    What's your weather like 2026

    Showers springing up today and then it's grim later this afternoon with rain, but it's another day of paperwork. But then it's two great days and hopefully I can finally get out into the garden....

    Maybe 'Abundance Wimbledon' may know of some help you might be able to get.

    What's Looking Good February 2026

    In general I would agree about the small Iris, but one consequence of these dull damp days has meant that mine have lasted much longer than usual. I would still rather have a bit more sun though.

    Today I bought another star jasmine. I know that the redness is a sign of cold stress, and there were plants with just green leaves, but I couldn't resist it. I wish I was better when stressed :biggrin:

    New Here…

    Great news. I lived in East Lothian and moved to the South Coast and the advice I get here is completely different from when I lived in Scotland.
