I haven't got a Kindle but a Kobo which at the time could magnify the text which the Kindle couldn't do. It was handy when I was working to read whilst eating my lunch, I could prop it up and my hands were free. I still use it daily and you can download free books from the library service.

Help needed with Buxus Plants!
I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.

Spring Bulbs coming up early
Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.

Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?
I have a smallish town garden, it wouldn't take much to get it looking tidy. But I'm trying to teach myself not to faff so much and leave things alone.
