    Plant not doing good

    Things you always say wrong

    I tend to get sayings wrong. My colleagues seem to enjoy my blips and still commonly use "patronising with the enemy". Close enough I'd say! :noidea:

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Made it to the Allotments but only to pick sprouts, dig parsnips, and get a bit of salad from the greenhouse. Too wet for much else.
