Tomato Growing 2026

What's your weather like 2026
Rain overnight (just shy of 3mm), after a couple of dry but cool and breezy days. Forecast brighter this afternoon but it doesn't look very promising at the moment.

Thank you everyone, it is covered in flower buds so I'll keep it potted near the back door for fragrance and then consider where to put it. We had a pretty cold winter for here and it would have been sat outside in the sales beds during that, so is probably a lot more hardy than I had considered.

That plant looks like Euryops pectinatus. A common sub shrub that's used in a lot of public planting schemes.

Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them
We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.

How do I stunt a begonia boliviensis without killing it?
Definitely worth propagating! I'd do the cuttings method. Then when you've got lots, and have set up a begonia shop online, you can be brave and chop up the corn!
