What's your weather like 2026
Rain overnight (just shy of 3mm), after a couple of dry but cool and breezy days. Forecast brighter this afternoon but it doesn't look very promising at the moment.

Right with the additional requirements now stated; good old fashioned lace curtains, as twitched by many nosy neighbours, are the best solution. Used to get a load of them for 50p at Jumble Sales, now you'll have to pay more, but you'll have many happy days at car boot sales finding them.

Thank you everyone, it is covered in flower buds so I'll keep it potted near the back door for fragrance and then consider where to put it. We had a pretty cold winter for here and it would have been sat outside in the sales beds during that, so is probably a lot more hardy than I had considered.

The repellent balls not working is so on brand for squirrels. Ours used to sit on top of the ultrasonic deterrent eating hazelnuts. Only thing that ever actually kept them off anything for me was physical netting, everything else they just treat as a mild inconvenience.

Loads more here too this year, way more than the last couple of springs. Noticed them clustering around the rose buds already which is perfect timing honestly, the aphids were just starting to show up. The warm February probably helped them come through winter in better shape than usual.

We had not seen a goldfinch in years, so we put out a Niger seed feeder. Now, we have a flock of them and have gone through 20 pounds of Niger seed, and it costs about $2.50 per pound, still it is worth it to have these colorful little critters flitting about. This is a young non-breeding male.
