    @Perki I bought that Acer in 2020 out of naivety that red leaves look nice. Reality was that in the first spring, it lost all its leaves to leave scorch. I took it out of the ground and put it into a barrel pot for 2 years to have it in a shade corner. It had a poor life because a tree in a pot...

    Strawberries preparing

    The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.

    The speakers always seem to have some reason to be globe trotting, just taking advantage of their position, like they all do. The horrible little scroat that we had before was always doing the same.

    Dying Privet Hedge

    As well as the Lonicera nitida another which may do well is Griselina - evergreen, quite fast growing and doesn't appear susceptible to disease.

    Is this some sort of celandine?

    @Palustris I'll wait for it to flower. It's wedged itself between a geranium and a veronica. If it behaves like the lesser jobs, it's unlikely to do any harm.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.
