What are we doing in the garden 2026
Sowed some chillies as the ones that we hoped would survive overwintering without the greenhouse didn't quite make it. Five months outside was a bit too much for them.

Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited
Great photos, we haven't been to Wisley for ages too. Same reasons the roadworks, it's a long trip for us anyway as we are on the opposite side of London.

Latest moan from you and me 2026
