    What's your weather like 2026

    Cold but dry and the wind has dropped so expecting a frost, 6 degrees but feels a lot cooler, should be sunny tomorrow.

    Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited

    Field woodruff in my lawn

    Is it not killed by normal weed and feed products? But I would agree in making the lawn less susceptible by improving the conditions for the grass over the weeds.
