    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    The bulbs are usually planted outdoors in autumn. Unless you have heavy clay soil which is wet or soil which goes not drain well, they should be fine planted in your borders now.

    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.
