    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    My hubby always says "terrible things happen in the countryside". Glad I live in suburbia. I think he means people get murdered and no-one hears.

    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. :sad: 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.

    Help With Growing Seeds

    Great setup @GreenFingeredPete ! You're wrong re economics. If there's any seeds you can't buy plants of, then it's worth it! (That's what I keep telling myself)

    Late afternoon visit from a Sparrowhawk which looks like a new young male, no bigger than a Collared Dove. Fortunately it didn't catch anything.
