    how to grow herbs

    Coriander is like catnip to me, but I've failed with every pot. Life can be so utterly cruel. ;)My Sainsburys oregano has been taking over the flowerbed for ten years though - I think it's happy, lol!

    What's your weather like MARCH 2024

    Sunny at the moment, but everything's still wet from a shower earlier. Gardening day might be tomorrow.

    Assisted dying

    If there were only gardening threads, it would suggest that is all gardeners talk about, which imo would be rather dull. Most gardeners like to have a natter over the garden fence.

    Acer and Crab apple tree
