    We have a number of different size (four sizes I think, but may be five) dinner plates accumulated during the over 60 years we have been married. The biggest ones are square (M&S), and the next size are some beautifully decorated Japanese ones given to us by the daughter of a friend who died.

    seed potatoes with long shoots

    You can leave them in a cool light space for a while if you're not ready to plant out yet. The shoots will green up and strengthen a bit. Plant carefully as already said.

    When to Cut Back Semi-Neglected Lavender and Santolina

    Yes a few years ago we visited a garden in Suffolk. They had a border with some very old Lavenders which still looked fine. They said they cut back hard in February-March each year.

    is there a reason why my Gaultheria Procumbens keeps getting dug up

    I think you will find its normally grown in the ground. But not something I have grown.

    Terrace in the Mediterranean

    Definitely we will repeat with the 'Orange Emperor' tulips next year, we loved their color on our terrace so much!! Perhaps we'll plant more, given the result.

    Chillies 2026

    I put some of those in about three weeks ago, getting their true leaves now, I do find they need a longer growing season than the smaller types, and ripening can be slow, but worth the effort.
