    Nothing today so stormy. Yesterday cleared some more low lying ivy. What a job. Moved some cypripedium pots that aren't doing so well. Cut back branches of a magnolia grown from seed. Flowering now but very few. Clearing an area for a different magnolia (genie). Hope it does well.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    If I try to report a pothole they want all the dimensions. Sadly I don't carry a tape measure with me, nor do I fancy trying to measure a pothole with vehicles whizzing past.

    Radiator trick is a good one. I used to just leave trays on the windowsill and wonder why germination was so patchy, turns out the temperature drops overnight were killing half of them. Even just a few days of bottom heat makes a massive difference for chillies especially.

    Where could I move this to?
