    What's your weather like 2026

    Flood warning lifted but still so much water out there and then rain forecast again. Nearly had a spring day today. Please can it last?

    Recommendations for quality compost?

    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.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.

    Potted Blueberries and honeyberries experiences ?

    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...
    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.
