    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    @NigelJ I find lots of superfluous "for"s and "of"s in American English and also in UK authored novels that end up on Kindle. "Off of" is a particular irritant.

    Recommendations for quality compost?

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.

    Variegated lavender pruning

    I bought it on a whim. If it doesn't start to look good in a couple of months, it's going in the oubliette.
