    Not the finest, in my opinion. Why does the Christmas season have to have a ghost story? I know it's winter, dark nights, and all that, and Dickens probably had something of a hand in it, but it seems a bit odd to me.

    Supporting a plant in a plant pot container

    Cut three or four appropriately sized sections off a bamboo cane and wedge them horizontally between the inner and outer pot. Should aid stability and allow humidity to rise.

    What's Looking Good December 2025

    I've taken up using Perry Mason's Paul Drake style address. Hey Beautiful or Hello Handsome. It usually gives the person something to smile about.

    Tomato Growing 2025

    My lights are in full view of the street. Quite happy for the local coppers to come in for a peek. They'll soon clear off when I start boring them with tomato talk.
