    Did I plant this?

    Agree about the hairy bittercress. We don't get a lot of the toadflax or the oxalis.

    Anyone struck fig tree cuttings before?

    Indeed. It'll likely be breaking dormancy in around a month and could be fully rooted by June. Unless this house sale goes incredibly smoothly, there should be enough time.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    I sowed Broad beans and peas into rootrainers. Potted on some Aonuim cuttings, they have rooted really well in a 50:50 mix of mpc and perlite. I think putting them in terracotta pots helped too.
